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....

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] funckey question... alt_subclass


I do a lot of hand routing...  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?
