LSW Window

Has anybody experienced an issue where the right and left buttons on
their mouse would no longer toggle the layer selectability and
visibility in the LSW window after using Virtuoso for a short period.
If you have, did you resolve the issue and how did you do it?

 

Check your CAPS Lock

 

Since the reply from Cadence when I asked if Caps Lock could be mapped
to the same function, this
begs the question:

How do you setup keys (i.e. mouse buttons and shifted mouse buttons) to
do what you want when you are
focused on the LSW window.

On a related note:

Can the user customized layers (as per the load/save menu on the LSW
window ) be loaded by default in any way?
I have many users who religiously open the first layout of the day, then
load the local "layers" file in the local directory.

Note that the users only want to play with the "valid" layers and not a
full blown tech file ....

Any help here would be great!

Thanks a bunch. I love easy solutions.

 

I can answer the second question :

The default valid layers are stored in the techfile.
obviously this cannot suit everybody's need and wants
while using the same techfile.

in your .cdsinit, you can make calls like

tf = techGetTechFile( ddGetObj("TECHFILE") )
leInitLayerWindow(tf)
leSetLayerValid( list("MET1" "drawing") t tf )

you can even reorder the whole LSW with
techSetLeLswLayers(tf list( '("MET1" "drawing") '("MET2" "drawing")
...... ) )

with control modifier. This way i can

 

Great!!! Just what I needed!

but ... I needed to change "TECHFILE" actually to the name of a user
library.
I then renamed tf to tech and had the user cut the

techSetLeLswLayers( ...)

chunk out of his/her "layer" file that they generated out of a LSW -> Save session and added it to

.cdsinit file and it worked.


Thanks a lot
