Requirement to turn off or on the option "Display All Cells In Path" within the Cells Dialog usign a key-in.

Background

As a part of selecting various cells within cell libraries using a key-in that could be used in tools the "Display All Cells In Path" and "Use Shared Cells" were interferring with this operation. A key-in was trying to be ascertained by recording a macro of this workflow but did not eventuate with an existing key-in. Something else was required to togle this option in the Cells dialog.

 

Steps to Accomplish

It appears we do not have a key-in specifically to toggle the "Display All Cells In Path" item on the Cells dialog. The following keyin script using the tcb calculator works by specifically targetting this item on the dialog box.

mdl load calculat; calculator tcb->msToolSettings.selectCell.displayAllCells=0; dialog cellmaintenance off;dialog cellmaintenance on
