Example

\a leHiCreateWire() 
\a mouseAddPoint() 
\i 10.15:19.34 ;user initiates new path or pathSeg here 
\a leSpaceBarFunc(hiGetCurrentWindow() t 
)

This command will be generated in the log during execution of commands such as Create – Wire where the space bar can be used as a convenient way to add a via. In this example the user selects a via to add, the default if available. The Add Via form will appear if a default via is not available.
