mpt Color Lock with Save

Nithin
Nithin over 1 year ago

Hi,

I am trying to do an mptLockAll along with save in layout using the below code.

procedure(colorLock_save()
mptLockAll(geGetEditCellView())
dbSave(geGetEditCellView())
)
hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>F2" "colorLock_save()")

But only mptLockAll function is executed and its not saving the layout view. Can anyone tell me why its not saving the layout?

Thanks,

Nithin

    Thanks RobMan.

    I'll check with the EDA team here to if something is different in saving.

    Best Regards,

    Nithin

    I think I got the issue.  

    The code does save the layout. But the save icon still remains enabled and asterisk(*) appears in the title bar.

    Seems like a bug. Its happening for others as well in few cases

    I do not see this either. The asterisk disappears and the 'save' toolbar icon is greyed out. Which tool version are you using?
