automatically run a routine when run button is choose

Hi all.

I'm using ic5141 and I would like to automatically run a routine everytime I choose to run a simulation, either by pressing Simulation->Run or by pressing the "Netlist and Run"/"Run" icons.

 I tried to follow the post on "automatically run a routine when a menu item is invoked from CIW or schematic window" - www.cadence.com/.../25992.aspx but it didn't work.

 Cold someone have any idea on how to proceed?

 Thanks in advance.

    So I took a quick look at Case 41564374 (it's not a solution, so that threw me, but a case you've logged with customer support), and I can see  from this that you're using IC5141, and I can see what you're trying to do. Don't try to use globalProc, because this was added to SKILL in IC615. You'd have to define it as a normal procedure (but outside the lexical scope). So just define NoNumericCheck as a normal procedure (don't put it within the other procedure) and it will (probably) work (I didn't test it).

    Actually, I'm not sure it will help you, because I think the numeric checks are done when you enter the variable on the form.

    So a far, far simpler solution would be to just do:

    tool=asiGetTool('spectre)
    asiSet(tool '_byPassNumericChecks t)

    And then you're done. No need to mess with flowchart steps - any subsequent ADE (spectre) session will inherit this.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
