leHiLayerTap

leHiLayerTap( 
[ w_windowId ] 
) 
=> t / nil

Description

Starts the Tools – Tap command and opens the Tap form when Options Displayed When Commands Start is set to on. Tapping sets the entry layer to the layer of an indicated shape in the current window. You can also use the tap command to seed create forms with information such as nets and attributes of objects. You are prompted to point at a shape with attributes to be tapped. You can point to shapes anywhere in the hierarchy. If the shape you want to select is overlapped by other shapes, you can cycle through the shapes until the shape you want is displayed, by setting the environment variable layerTapCycle to t, which takes precedence over Select from overlaps. If layerTapCycle is nil and layerTapPick is t, then the Select from overlaps form will appear if you click more than one overlapped shape. If you do not point to any shapes that are on valid layers, the function calls hiGetAttention and prompts you again. If you do not specify w_windowId, the layout editor uses the current window.
