How do I register a Form ID without drop-down menu bar after restart virtuoso？

alaylayla

The skill script needs to change the value of the option in the form,  modify these option by FormID->arg->value for subsequent operations.

However, after restarting virtuoso, there is no FormID without pulling down the corresponding menu to pop up the form, and ciw will prompt that the FormID does not exist when executing the script.

How do I register a Form ID without drop-down menu bar.

For example, when I execute leHiQuickAlign, I want to change the value of quickAlignUserSpacing to 1.0 .

Although I am now modifying the value of the corresponding arg by setenv; But I don't think this is a good approach, I just want to change the relevant options in the form when calling this script in this cellview

Thanks kind friends !!!

    Why do you not think this is the right approach?  Using 

    envSetVal("layout" "quickAlignUserSpacing" 'float 1.0)

    is the correct way to (pre)set the value especially if the form has not been invoked yet. Interacting with the form directly will require the form to exist, the envSetVal method allows users to override default values (some of these variables operate at different 'scopes' so the envSetVal setting is 'global' and there can be other overrides at the library, cell and even window level, depending on the variable).

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
