Virtuoso -- descend hierarchy prompting

[Puneet]

Hi,

I m newbee in virtuoso......... I gets frustated in descending down
and up the hierarchy bcoz every time it PROMPTS me for before
descending.....it ask for view schematic, symbol etc etc

I have heard that there is some way to disable prompting..... i.e just
by pressing 'e' i can descend down the hierarchy...........

I know how to bind key in .cdsinit file for a single command but i
think here i need to bind key for sequence of commands but i am not
able to do it........can anybody tell me the skill command for binding
a key to descend down in the hierarchy???

Thanxs,
Puneet

Hi Puneet,

insert in your .cdsinit the following lines:

schSetEnv("descendTarget" "use viewNameList")
schSetEnv("viewNameList" "schematic symbol") ;; list of views to descend into, in order of preference


but fair warning, if for some reason you want to be able to choose which view you will descend into,
you'll get frustrated again

This sets Ctrl+Shift+e to ask anyway:

hiSetBindKey( "Schematics" "CtrlShift<Key>e" "let( ((temp schGetEnv(\"descendTarget\")))
schSetEnv(\"descendTarget\" \"query user\") schHiDescend() schSetEnv(\"descendTarget\" temp) )" )

Cheers,
Stéphane

It's easy to change your mind though. All you need to do is use the usual
Descend Edit (with nothing selected, and if you have infix on, make sure you're
not over any instance) and then hit "F3". You can toggle the "Use ViewNameList"
on or off. The ViewNameList is on Options->Editor in the schematic window.

So no real need for a special bindkey...

Regards,

Andrew.
