Cross-probe between layout veiw and schematic view

DP202411073224

Hi there

I am trying to make cross-probe btw layout and schematic view.

so when I execute the code in schematic using bindkey, the code will raise the layout view (hiRaiseWindow)

and then I want to descend to the same hierarchy as schematic. (geSelectFig, leHiEditInPlace)

But looks like current cellview still stays at schematic view.

I got this error msg, and when I print current cell view name at where I got this msg, it replys schematic.

*Error* geSelectFig: argument #1 should be a database object (type template = "d") - nil

is there any way to change the current cellview to layout view?

I also added this code, but didn't work.

geGetEditCellView(geGetCellViewWindow(cvId)) ;cvId is layout view

I don't want to close the schematic view, just want to move the focus or make geSelectFig works.

OR

maybe, this will be simpler question.

is there any way to use 'geSelectFig' function with window ID?

Thanks in advance.
