schHiCopy() question

gangliurfic
gangliurfic 1 month ago

Hi,

When I hover my cursor on an object in the schematic and press "c" to copy it, I have to click once to select the object, or provide a reference point, and then click a second time at the destination.

Is there a way to save the 1st click, and just use my cursor location when I press the "c" button?

I tried to add schSingleSelectPt() after schHiCopy(), it still asks me to click left button twice.

Is there a skill function that does the mouse click?

Thanks!

    There is a setting called infix which does exactly this. It's in Options→User Preferences in the CIW (it needs to be on, i.e. checked, to get the behaviour you want):

    This can also be set in the .cdsinit using:

    envSetVal("ui" "infix" 'boolean t)
