How to create personalized menu in virtuoso layout editor

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

For ADE, you could use "analogArtist-schematic", however this will only work when you start ADE from the schematic. If you open it from the CIW, or by loading a state directly (e.g. from the library manager), then it will not trigger. The issue is that ADE is not really an editor of a view in the same sense as maskLayout or schematics, and so the Design Editor (i.e. de) functionality doesn't come into play.
The right way to do ADE customization is to use menus files. Here's one way:

The other way to do it might be to use the sessInitTrigFunc cdsenv setting:

This sessInitTrigFunc was added in IC5141 in 5.10.41.500.5.124 and is also in IC612 onwards (it was added in an IC611 hotfix, strictly speaking), in September 2008.

Andrew.
