Skill Pcell Post Trigger Function

kdolan

Hi,

I want to create a function that will create a rect marker on the bbox of a pcell after it is re-evaluated when a cdf parameter has been changed.

I have all the necessary code for creating the marker, and I initially had created a script within the cdf callbacks where it would find the bbox of the pcell being edited. However, the problem arose that because cdf callbacks happen before the pcell is re-evaluated,  the bbox is was returning was always the bbox of the pcell before the cdf changes were applied. Hence, if I changed a parameter that affected the pcell bbox, the bbox I was grabbing in the callback was no longer correct.

Any suggestions on how I could this in a certain way that it always grabs the bbox of the pcell after it is evaluated, and then automatically run my marker function with this correct bbox?

Thanks for the help!

    Keelan,

    You could do this in the CDF doneProc - this is called once all the CDF parameters have been applied - it gets passed the instanceId that was changed.
