axlVisibleSet usage

archive

Hello all,

When I try to set PIN/TOP visibility by axlVisibleSet function,
i get always following message:

Skill > mylist = '(nil class "PIN" visible t subclassinfo ("TOP" t))
(nil class "PIN" visible t
subclassinfo ("TOP" t)
)
Skill > axlVisibleSet(mylist)
W- *WARNING* Bad format for visibility information
nil

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
Shimon

  • axlVisibleSet is really targeted at the situation where you might want to temporarily change the viisbility of the design
    then change it back to the original user settings before exiting your skill program. Example
    originalVis = axlVisibleGet()
    ... change visibility then do work based upon it
    axlVisibleSet(originalVis)

    While you can use it to change the visiibility for individual layers using axlVisibleSet it requires complicated programming.
    The easy method to change the visibility of individual layers is to use axlVisibleLayer. Example to make the pin/top layer visible.
    axlVisibleLayer("PIN/TOP" t)
    axlVisibleUpdate()
    axlVisibleUpdate is required. It allows multiple calls to axlVisibleLayer without having the display update after each call.

    The interface requires the class name to be included with the subclass name.

    To make all subclasses of a class invisible:
    axlVisibleLayer("PIN" nil)
