Assign Pattern option ( disable or a way to set it )

Quarkdog1

 I am using the funckey "code below" and now with v16.5 a "Assign Pattern" window is popping up.   I am trying to either set the pattern or disable it completely so my "F" key is more effective.

 Thanks in advance for the reply :)

 

funckey F "generaledit; prepopup ; pop dyn_option_select 'Selection set@:@Clear all selections' ; set prompt ; prompt 'Enter Ref Des (on next step click pattern to keep it highlighted' ; refdes $prompt ; zoom selection; hilight  ;generaledit "

    Gave it a try but it still only works if I put the hilight in the CIW  :(      Thanks for all your help,  I go on three weeks of vacation now  :)

    Hi Mike, thanks again for all your insight.  Changing the "code line"  to be able to paste into the CIW area sped up my debugging greatly.  Here is my finished work around for the way my system acts. Its likely this can be shortened down but it is working  :)

    funckey F 'generaledit;set prompt;prompt 'Enter Ref Des';refdes $prompt;zoom selection;generaledit;pick grid 1.0 1.4;generaledit;hilight;setwindow form.find;FORM find name_type Symbol (or Pin);FORM find find_name $prompt;setwindow pcb;generaledit'

    Hello,

    I am glad you were able to figure out a way to get your command to work.  One final thing to check is if you have the environmental variable APPMODE set to NONE. This can be set in the Allegro ENV file or at the OS level.  You can verify this by starting Allegro and typing 'set' on the Allegro command line to see all of the environmental settings then check if APPMODE is set to NONE,  you will not see it at all if it hasn't be explicitly set in your environment.  You can also check it by accessed the User Preferences Editor under the UI Category in the App_modes folder.  Setting APPMODE to NONE did cause the command without Highlight to fail.

    You got it working anyway but I figured you can check this one last thing so you can use the much shorter string of commands.

    Good Luck,
    Mike Catrambone
