BindKey for probing

ocsav
ocsav over 2 years ago

Hi to all,

I am trying to create a bindkey to use with the letter "W" where it trigger the probe function of the net selected in the schematic to be displayed in the layout and the the "shift W" to remove the probe of the specific net.

The command in the log is this :

_asstSetProbeColor(hiGetCurrentWindow() "y1" "drawing") 

but when I add it to the bindkey editor it returns an error ! 

Can anyone help me with the code for this please.

Thank you and best regards
Vasco

    Hi 


    Vasco, the command you see in the log is just resulting from you probing a net.

    This is definitely not the one to use ! It is private but its name is quite explicit : I guess it just tries to set the color of the probe you create

    The functions you are looking for to use in your bindkeys are geEnterAddNetProbe and geEnterDeleteNetProbe

    hiSetBindKey("Schematics"      "<Key>9" "geEnterAddNetProbe()"   )
    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "Shift<Key>9" "geEnterDeleteNetProbe()")


    Cheers,
    Aurélien
