virtuoso mouse coordinates

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by Guenther Sohler, Nov 15, 2006.

  1. Hallo Group,


    Just a stupid question -

    If I define a binkey + function in virtuoso layout editor -
    is there function to get the current coordinates of the "mouse-cursor"
    rectangle ?
    is it possible to set, and/or fix it by script ?

  2. my intent is to implement some functions which help me realizing
    distances by typing in numbers instead of zooming (to get the start and
    end point) and using the ruler to find the actual distance.

  3. I'm a little confused, since the first time you said that you want to get
    the coordinates of the cursor, and then you want to type in numbers?

    You can use enter functions for this - for example, enterPoint(), enterBox()
    etc which allow callbacks on point entry, done etc. With these you can
    also type in the coordinates in the CIW (type Xvalue:Yvalue in the CIW).

    Alternatively you can use hiGetCommandPoint() or hiGetPoint() to retrieve
    the current location.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
