Path command

Guest
I have two skill code programs to work with the Create Path
command. One starts the path command with the metal layer "biased"
or set for me. So, if I want to start a path in metal 1, I press
ctrl and 1. The second skill code I have is to "transition" from
metal to metal. If I have a path started on Metal 1 and want to go
to Metal 2, I press Alt and 2. Skill is below.

I would like to combine these. Is there a way to "see" if the path
command is activated or in use? That way if I press ctrl and 2 and
the path command is active, I am asking for a transition else start
the command "biased" to metal two. So, I think I just need to know
how to "know" if the path command is started and use a conditional
statement.

I am new to skill programming, if I said something stupid let me
know :)

Thank you in advance for any help,
Eric

That worked great! Now I can start a path "biased" on the metal
layer I want and can transition using the same keys. The only thing
that is truly icky is the use of the replay file. Does anyone see a
way around this?


This is all I have in the replay files that I use
\a leiMouseSetEntryLayer(11);selects metal3 in the LSW window.
\a leHiCreatePath();starts path

Can I do this another way perhaps?

Below is what I have so far and it works, just don't like the replay
file. Any feedback from "real" skill programmers is appreciated!

Thank you,
Eric

Why not make your bindkeys do:

leSetEntryLayer('("Metal3" "drawing")) leHiCreatePath()

Then you won't need a replay file.

Andrew.

Andrew,

That worked perfectly and I appreciate all your help even though I
suck at Skill ;)

I have posted the final code in case someone wants to use it.

Have a nice day,
Eric
