How to create personalized menu in virtuoso layout editor

AmitBiswas
Hi, I have written few scripts in skill language. I want group all the scripts together into a single menu in virtuoso layout editor. Like in the layout editor window there are several menus at the top containing multiple functions, I want to create my personalized menu in the layout editor window. I also want to put that script in the .cdsinit file, so that when cadence will be started the menus will be loaded automatically in the layout editor window like the other menus. Thanks in advance, Amit

    Hi Amit,

    the error message appears to be self explanatory: My_Custom_Menu will be supplied with one argument that is a disembodied property list ("dpl" for short) but it was defined to accept no arguments: 

     *Error* My_Custom_Menu: too many arguments (0 expected, 1 given) - ...

    The trigger will automatically supply the dpl to the function, this is why the function needs to accept at least one argument. See my example where I have "args" for this argument, and then this is used to obtain the window id (this is the correct way to do it anyway, since hiGetCurrentWindow() can actually pick up the "What's New" window, for example).

    Also, which version are you using?  I'd guess at 9502/4.3.4 given the "dag" prefixed functions, but it is possible that these are just customizations...

    Try again and let us know how things turn out.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
