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

    That is possible. You'll have to save all current visibility settings - the easiest thing would probably be to create a script that saves a temp colorview file to disk. When you close the program this color view should be reselected and then the temp file deleted.

     Similarly selecting a film could load the corresponding film.

    (defun _ns_save_org_colorview ()
    let((tmp_file)
     ;------------------- save the original color view for later restoration
     tmp_file = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_SCRIPT", "tmp", "w")
     fprintf(tmp_file "scriptmode +i +n +w +c\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "colorview create\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow form.colorview_create\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "FORM colorview_create colorview_name ns_pdf_out\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "FORM colorview_create save\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "FORM colorview_create done\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
     axlDMClose(tmp_file)
     axlShell("replay tmp")
     if( isFile( "tmp.scr") then deleteFile("tmp.scr"))
    )
    )

    (defun _ns_load_view (f2view)
    let((tmp_file)
     ; load the original color view
     tmp_file = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_SCRIPT", "tmp", "w")
     fprintf(tmp_file "scriptmode +i +n +w +c\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow form.vf_vis\n")
     fprintf(tmp_file "FORM vf_vis colorview_list %s\n" f2view)
     fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
     axlDMClose(tmp_file)
     axlShell("replay tmp")
     if( isFile( "tmp.scr") then deleteFile("tmp.scr"))  
    )
    )
