    Script to make visible dummy layer of those metal layers visible in LSW selection Reply

    Hi can any one show some light on how to perform the solution. For example if i have "M1 drawing layer" visible in LSW , then if i press some bindkey the M1 dummy layer should get vissible. I have tried some code but it isnt working. Copied for reference below

     

    procedure(showDummySet()

    for(i 1 10

    z="M"

    layer=(concat(z,i))

    x=leIsLayerVisible( list("layer" "drawing") )

    if( x == "t" then (

    leSetAllLayerVisible(nil) 

    leSetEntryLayer(list(\"layer\" \"drawing\")) 

    leSetEntryLayer(list(\"layer\" \"dummy\")) 

    hiRedraw()

    )

    )

    )

    )

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>8" "showDummySet() ")

    Hi Neeraj

     

    I think you need to use leSetLayerVisible instead of leSetEntryLayer, you might want to give that a try.

     

    Cheers,

    Andy

    Hi Andy,

     I was getting this error for both   leSetLayerVisible & leSetEntryLayer as 

     *WARNING* (TECH-2000192): leIsLayerVisible: Invalid layer/purpose - ("layer" "drawing").

    I am not able to set the layer as per my wish. So either i have to use a "when" and make the code huge or any other option to sort this out.

    Neeraj,

    You have quotes around "layer" which means it will be treated as a literal string, rather than the variable you intended. Take these quotes away and you may get it working. (I have not looked in detail at this code, I just noticied this bit).

    Regards,

    Lawrence.

    Hi lawrence, i was facing this error while running the code
    "t
    M1t
    *Error* eval: not a function - leSetLayerVisible(layer t)" 
     
    Can you assist me, why this error is comming. 
     
     
    Code :
     
    procedure(showDummySet()
    for(i 1 10
    z="M"
    layer=concat(z,i)
    print(layer)
    x=leIsLayerVisible(list(layer "drawing") 
    print(x)
    if( x == t then (
    leSetLayerVisible(list(layer "drawing") t)
    leSetLayerVisible(list(layer "dummy") t)
    )
    )
    )
    )
    )
     
    Thanks & Regards

    I didn't get the error you did - because there's a missing close parenthesis on the first leIsLayerVisible. If I add that, then I get the error you got, because there's an erroneous open parenthesis on the if line. For good measure I declared all the variables in the code as local too - and it now works fine (it did without adding the let, but I though it was a good idea to add):

    procedure(showDummySet()
        let((z layer x)
            for(i 1 9
                z="M"
                layer=concat(z,i)
                print(layer)
                x=leIsLayerVisible(list(layer "drawing"))
                print(x)
                if( x == t then
                    leSetLayerVisible(list(layer "drawing") t)
                    leSetLayerVisible(list(layer "slot") t)
                )
            )
        )
    )

    Note that we would recommend that you use a prefix for your function to avoid clashing with anyone else's function called "showDummySet".

    Regards,

    Andrew.
