Nagarajpk

I need skill code to run terminal commands in CIW and use it in skill code further as skill variable. Could someone help me on this?

    Probably ipcBeginProcess and then ipcReadProcess is what you need, but your question is far from clear.

    Instead of getting available work area I can exclude control panel height and set that to any layout/schematic window to left or right.

    Here is my code, let me know if you have any feedback Slight smile

    (procedure (arrangeWindowLeftSide)
    let( (cid output x y width height)

    ;reading outs from shell
    cid = ipcBeginProcess("wmctrl -lG | grep xfce4-panel | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f3-6")
    ipcWait(cid)
    output = ipcReadProcess(cid)
    when(output
    ; Split the output string into a list of numbers
    prog((vals)
    vals = parseString(output)

    x = atoi(nth(0 vals))
    y = atoi(nth(1 vals))
    width = atoi(nth(2 vals))
    height = atoi(nth(3 vals))

    ;Here used all geometry but I needed hight of panel you can use it whichever you want

    printf( "Panel Geometry: X=%d Y=%d Width=%d Height=%d \n" x y width height)
    )
    )
    W=car(getMaxScreenCoords())
    H=cadr(getMaxScreenCoords())
    HW=W/2

    winId=hiGetCurrentWindow()
    hiResizeWindow(winId list(0:height HW:H))
    hiZoomAbsoluteScale(winId 0.9)
    )
    );proc end
