Set Bindkaey

[sesi]

Hello all,

In Virtuso Layout how can I assign bindkey to the option

Edit -> Hierarchy -> flatten.

When ever I select a instance and press the bindkey in layout , I
want the instance to be flattened by displayed levels.

Thanks,

Regards,
Sesi.

Sesi,

Don't you just assign the bindkey to be leHiFlatten() ?

Your requirements were not that clear.

If you want to give no form to the user, you could probably just write a wrapper
which does:

procedure(MYflatten()
foreach(obj geGetSelSet()
when(obj~>objType=="inst"
leFlattenInst(obj hiGetCurrentWindow()->stopLevel)
)
)
)

Note I didn't test this... it's written off the top of my head.

Andrew.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you very much for your reply,
Sorry for the late response ,
Yes actually I want to avoid opening the form ,
I am facing few problems with the MYflatten() function,
it is working only when we are in top level , if we are working in the
below levels its prompting an error
*Error* leFlattenInst: level must be greater than 0 - 0
And also how can I select the options Preserve ROd objects and
Flatten Pcells option in the function MYflatten() and also the option
onelevel instead of displayed levels (stopLevel).
procedure(MYflatten()
foreach(obj geGetSelSet()
when(obj~>objType=="inst"
leFlattenInst(obj hiGetCurrentWindow()->stopLevel)
)
)
)

Sesi,

You could read the documentation on the leFlattenInst function? Here's the short
summary:

leFlattenInst(
d_instId
x_levels
[ g_flattenPCells ]
[ g_preservePins ]
[ g_preserveRODobjs ]
)
=> t | nil

Flattens instance d_instId up through x_levels of hierarchy.

You originally said that you wanted it to do it to the display levels - so of
course if it's 0, then it won't flatten anything. If you want it to do one
level, you'd pass 1 as the second argument rather then the
hiGetCurrentWindow()->stopLevel . And pass t/nil for the additional optional
arguments if you want to enable or disable those features.

Regards,

Andrew.
