Modify film_reorder.il

bulldog

I have been looking at the program "film_reorder.il" (available at cadence.com) and have found it useful but would like to make a small modification to it.  After you have selected a layer to be moved (up or down) in the list you have to re-select it if you want to move it more than one position.  Does anyone know of a way to modify this program so the selected layer stays selected until another layer is selected?  I would like to just click the up/down arrow X times until it is moved into the correct position without having to keep re-selecting the layer.

Thanks!

  • Hi

    At the bottom of the code for UP (line 182) you can insert code like

    if(sel_index > 0 then
      axlFormListSelect(myform "FILMS_LIST" sel_index-1)
    else
      axlFormListSelect(myform "FILMS_LIST" 0)
    )

    The film list works by indexes or names, the command axlFormListSelect should be able  to take both a list of arguments and index as the argument. Could not get it working by passing "sel_items" which is why it ended up with indexes

    you need to do something similar for the Down code.

    Best regards
