SKILL Qn: How to get the user select only a particular obj t

[Suresh Jeevanandam]

Hi everyone,
In SKILL, I want to tell the user "Select the net" and wait for the
user to click on a net ( wire ). I have implemented this by,

schSelectPoint(cw enterPoint(?prompts '("Click on the net")) nil nil 0)

However, It would like to force the tool to select only the wire and
not any other object type if there are something nearby.
Any idea how this could be accomplished?

Thanks in advance,

regards,
Suresh J

Maybe this will do the job > BFselectNet( )


procedure( BFhilightSelNet( w done pts )
when( done
geDeselectAll( )
geDeleteAllProbe( )
geAddNetProbe(
hiGetCurrentWindow( )
list( "y0" "drawing" )
car( pts )
)
)
)

procedure( BFselectNet( )
enterPoint( ?prompts
list( "Click on a net")
?doneProc "BFhilightSelNet"
)
)

I forgot this is already implemented in the schematic composer
"Design -> Probe -> Add Net ..."
So if you don't want to use the SKILL way of doing it somehow
embedded in other SKILL just use the schematic menu option!

If you want to select the net to show in a form you could use
(asiSelectNet 'fieldName ?prompt "Select Net")
