Skill axlZoomFit usage

Jim OMahony
Jim OMahony over 1 year ago

Hi, I am trying to use the axlZoomFit command with an env shortcut to zoom out to the sheet border of my design.

Here is the code that I am trying:

axlCmdRegister( "ZoomFitVisible" `ZoomFitVis ?cmdType "interactive")
(defun ZoomFitVis () axlZoomFit(0 visible)')

I have substituted a random command to check for typos, the following works fine to flip the view.

(defun ZoomFitVis () axlDesignFlip( !axlDesignFlip()))

After trying various modifications I am having no success with this command. Any coding gurus got a solution ?

Thanks,

Jim O'Mahony

    You have the single quote in the wrong location, try the following:

    (defun ZoomFitVis () axlZoomFit(0 'visible))

    )
