How to display clickable xy location format on output window

Pawandeep
Pawandeep over 2 years ago

Hi,

I would like to create a clickable xy location format output, so that when I click, it should zoom in to that particular position.

I would like to use %f preferably.

defun( xyLoc ()
let(()
    outPort = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_TEXT", "FORM_1", "w")
    db = axlDBFindByName('refdes "RP1")
    xLoc = xCoord(db->symbol->xy)
    yLoc = yCoord(db->symbol->xy)
    fprintf(outPort "Location %f:%f\n" xLoc yLoc)
    axlDMClose(outPort)
    axlUIViewFileCreate("FORM_1.txt" "test" t)
    
))

    Change your fprintf formatting to "Location (%f %f)\n"
