Reg:Shortcut key's to switch between Film layers

C Shiva

 Hi,

  Is there any shortcut key's or is it possible to assign shortcut key's to switch between Film's such as SMT,PMT,SST,TOP,BOTTOM while doing layout activity? Presently at every time i need to change it manually using Visibility --> views --> Films.

  Is there any skill files or any method by using env file? For instance, to assign trace width changing short cut key's, we can write a script as "funckey 5 'setwindow form.mini; FORM mini acon_line_width 5;setwindow pcb' " in env file.

 Thanks,

 Shiva.

  • You can use the settoggle command with the funckey assignment

    For example, if you wish  to change the toggle through the set of films using the 'f' key and your films were named TOP, BOTTOM and GND you would do:

    funckey f "settoggle togfilm 'Film: BOTTOM' 'Film: TOP' 'Film: GND'; FORM vf_vis colorview_list $togfilm"
    What this does is everytime you hit the 'f' key it will set the visibility to the next film 
    NOTES
    - the single and double quotes and spaces are important
    - Casing is important. If you film is named bottom use bottom not BOTTOM 
    - to debug problems type on allegro command line: scriptmode +echo 
    - If need to add another film like VCC then after GND'; add
          GND'  'Film: VCC';
