how to swap the grids by using short cut keys while routing

 There is a nice skill program on the Cadence website that allows you to play back any script file by just click on its name from a list.  The same can be done with a "funckey" setting in your env file.

For these to work you will need to capture a script that sets the grids the way you want.  Then you can edit it for each of the various grids you want to use -- save each one off with a unique name.  

Call the script by using "replay scriptname.scr" from the command line (or func key).

If you can't find the skill program then post over on the skill forum (here) or on yahoo.

already i captured the script with different grid settings & given unique name for each script(.scr). In previous company i use to go for customer place there they are entering the Ctrl key + A,B,C to switching the grids, now can u tell me how to do?.....

please tell me,  how to set funkey in env file and how to generate env file?

Thanks in advance..:) 

In the allegro.ilinit file you can add aliases like:

 F5 replay grid5.scr (sets the grid to 5,5,5,5,5 (5 mil grid, every 5th dot is 25mils)

F6 replay grid1.scr (sets grid to 1,1,1,1,1)

etc.

In allegro you can do the same:

on command like type:  alias <hit the F5 function key> 'replay grid5.scr'

NOTE: you have to include the ' (single-quote) symbol when typing a command string.

Good day.

oops, in the allegro.ilinit file you'll need to include the ' symbol also (e.g. F5 'replay grid5.scr')
