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 Lawrence,

         I have got the brief idea, and i am still confused about some tips

    1, you just modify an exit function in the user "ciw.menus" in the above example, i want to know if the other functions will be saved/reserved as the default function in the ciw menus.

    2. Can  the "MYexit()" function be defined in other file skill file?

    3.how to check wether user's menus(xxx.menus) is working well, i mean that check it in CIW 

    4. i want to add a user menu in analogArtist simulation window, but i'm not clear about which viewType should i use to register my menu trigger deRegUserTriggers()

    5. if i change the analogArtist menu by modifying the simui.menus(is it the menus for analogArtist simulation window), i want to add a menu item under the Tools menu(below the parametric analysis), what i need to do is just add my menu item name and callback function in the Tools section in the simui.menus. by the way, do i need to create this menu item before i add it or not?

    sorry for askiing so many question!

    Regards,
