I didn't understand what do you really want.

Hi,
how do i create short cut keys ? or else are there shortcut keys predefined in the tool.

Example for zoom in schematic "z", to view part properties "q" etc.

Thanks,

Re: icfbc command shortcuts

look at the cadence design framework user guide - appendix A. shortcuts are called bindkeys!

There are several possibilites:

* editing the .cdsinit_personal in your homepath for instance. if you haven't it search for it in your cds dir!

* or in the CIW (- wouldn't do so) --> options --> bindkeys

Beside, in the cds dir are some template files (extension *.il I think). But it is documented well in the user guide!

To understand bindkeys : look at :
$CDS_DIR/tools/dfII/sample/local/schBindKeys.il

For instance, 'zoom' :
bk("Schematics" "<Key>z" "hiZoomIn()")
bk("Schematics" "Ctrl<Key>z" "hiZoomOut()")
...

Then, write your own ones in your .cdsinit file in your project directory:
bk("Schematics" "<Key>q" "hiZoomIn()")
bk("Schematics" "Ctrl<Key>q" "hiZoomOut()")
