How to set shortcut key to cycle through predefined trace width settings

Dutch2 over 5 years ago

I'd like to assign a shortcut key to select a trace width from a predefined list while routing.

For example, I'd like to select between 0.082mm, 0.127mm, and 0.254mm.

Any suggestions on how to do this, or where to find more information on how to do it would be greatly appreciated!

try the following command:

funckey w "settoggle width '0.082' '0.127' '0.254' ; FORM mini acon_line_width $width"

Then when routing use the 'w' key to toggle thru the width values

This is one of the neatest things since I discovered the "mark as fanout" feature. Thank you!

So did the 'w' funckey definition work for toggling thru your width values?

I have no idea why it didn't work for original user

It works brilliantly. Wonder if the problem is nothing seems to happen until you move the mouse after pressing the 'w' key.

Have this in my environment file so it's always there.
