How to create a new window having button associating with MPP templates?

frogconsultant

Dear All,

 I am starting using the 6.x virtuoso and I would like to improve my setup by having my custom MPP templates directly access through a separate window instead of accessing through the pull down menu. Is it possible to do it? Can someone point me to a starting script to create this new window?

Thanks in advance for your help.

  • That's not actually that easy. You could have something which built a form using techGetMPPTemplateNames() to find out the available templates  and presented this as a choice on a form. Then used an enter function to allow you to digitize the points (although you wouldn't be able to get it to rubberband quite the same way as the Create MPP form would), and finally use something like my CCSdrawMPPUsingTemplate function (or abDrawMPPUsingTemplate if you have that!) as described in http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:ViewSolution;solutionNumber=11323850 to actually create the MPP.

    This seems to me as if all it is doing is exactly duplicating the functionality of the Create MPP form. Wouldn't it be simpler just to create a bindkey for leHiCreateMPP() ? Then you wouldn't have to access the menu. Or you could just use Alt-c-t to do this already (in IC61).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
