lxShowHideIncompleteNets

lxShowHideIncompleteNets(
[ w_windowID ]
)
=> t / nil

Description

Shows and hides any incomplete nets associated with selected objects in the specified layout window. The function establishes the incomplete nets associated with the selected objects and toggles the visibility of the markers representing those incomplete nets on or off depending on their previous state.

You can select objects either before or after you run the function, which behaves differently in each case.

• In preselection mode, you select some objects in the canvas and then type the command in the CIW. Any incomplete nets associated with the selected objects are displayed in the canvas.
  
  In this mode, the function runs only once on the set of selected objects. You must re-type it each time you want to run it for a new set of objects.
• In postselection mode, you type the function name in the CIW with nothing selected and then select objects in the design canvas. Any incomplete nets associated with the selected objects are displayed. To hide the incomplete nets associated with an object, click that object again. When you have multiple objects selected, use Ctrl-click to remove an individual object from the selected set and hide its incomplete nets.
  
  In this mode the function remains active until you cancel it by pressing either Esc or Ctrl-C on the keyboard. It is canceled automatically when you start another enter function.

To be able to show flight lines for open markers, the Annotation Browser must be initialized, although it need not be displayed on the desktop. For example, you can close it and show and hide incomplete nets in postselection mode directly from the Navigator assistant. To do this, though, you must switch off the Remove highlighting when browser is closed option in the Annotation Browser Options form, otherwise there can be no visible incomplete nets to show and hide.
