Allegro PCB 16.6 funckey show/hide subclasses

KSielewicz

Hi,

I want to create a shortcut that will allow to show or hide layers that are visible. For example I press "x" and then Package Geometry / Silkscreen TOP appears and I press "z" and this layer hides. Any idea how can I do that?

Thank you in advance,

Krzysztof

    You could set up a couple of scripts to replay and assign them to keys.  One problem with using x & z is you will need to enter a carriage return.  If you use a couple function keys or control-x/control-z to avoid needing the carriage return.  Below are two scripts I recorded for turning Package Geometry/Silkscreen_Top On/Off.  Save them in two separate text files *.scr and then alias the keys you want to use to replay them; i.e. alias F5 replay "PackGeomOn.scr"  and alias F6 replay "PackGeomOff.scr".

    Turn On:

    color192
    setwindow cvf.dialog
    cvf layer_mode
    cvf layer_tree_item 'Package Geometry'
    cvf layers_visible package_geometry/silkscreen_top TRUE
    cvf okay
    setwindow pcb

    Turn Off:

    color192
    setwindow cvf.dialog
    cvf layer_mode
    cvf layer_tree_item 'Package Geometry'
    cvf layers_visible package_geometry/silkscreen_top FALSE
    cvf okay
    setwindow pcb

    try the following:

    funckey x color -vis "PACKAGE GEOMETRY/SILKSCREEN_TOP"

    funckey z color -invis "PACKAGE GEOMETRY/SILKSCREEN_TOP"

    You can also toggle visibility of a layer by using "-toggle" instead of -vis  -- This way you only need to define a single key.

    The color command has a number of options. To see them, on the Allegro command line do:

        color -help
