Skill Q: Getting the parent cellview whiel editing in place

[suresh j]

Hi,
In skill, we can get the topCellView by,
topCV = hiGetCurrentWindow()->topCellView

But how to get the cellview id of the cellview that we would go to when
we do geReturn(), ie just one level above.

Thanks in advance.

regards,
Suresh J

Suresh,

One way (may be others) is to use the return value of
geGetHierMemInst() - this is a list of instance objects
describing how you got here - from each of these you can
look at the ~>cellView attribute to see what cellView they were
in.

Andrew,
I am doing something like this to get the parent cellview,
caar(last(geGetHierMemInst()))->cellView

I am happy.
Thanks.
