Gene: You need to switch to the window containing the item you want to adjust: alias F5 "setwindow form.mini; FORM mini alt_subclass E2 ; setwindow pcb" will switch to the ministatus, change the alt to E2, then switch back to the main window so you can start routing.... -- George Patrick Tektronix, Inc.

I want to be able to change my target layer... the "alt" layer, faster than I currently can. (point to new layer with mouse is rather lame) I can increment the active layer using the + and minus keys (poorly placed BTW for a right hand mouse user) But I cannot figure out how to increment the alt layer. The scripts I captured show the alt layer toggle as "FORM mini alt_subclass LAYER_4" (for a change to layer_4) but that does not work when programmed as a funckey command. Some folks had elaborate layer commands... I am just looking for a simple toggle for the alt layer. Just let me drive it at least in one direction. Any ideas? ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list please login at //www.freelists.org.
