bindkey to instantiate a device

[yvk]

Hi,

Is it possible to assign a bindkey to instantiate a device from analogLib/basic (which already exists)?

Thanks,
yvk

Yes, you could write some SKILL code to do this ;-)
You could use schHiCreateInst("analogLib" "vpulse" "symbol") - this will
seed the form with the component you want and prompt you to place it. Or
you could use schCreateInst or dbCreateInst with all the right arguments
- and use enterPoint to prompt you where to place it (say).

Thanks Andrew,

It seems fine from console.

But some syntax issue with

hiSetBindkey("Schematics" "<Key>8" "schHiCreateInst("basic" "noConn" "symbol")" )
