changing toolbar in ic615

letcan

 Hi,

 is there a way to change the icons in the toolbar in ic615?

I have seen in a video that ic616 include a toolbar manager. Can do something similar in ic615 (maybe with a text file)?

Thanks!

  • The benefit of the mechanism in IC616 is that it allows "override" definitions. In IC615 you can only create toolbar files in .cadence/ dfII/toolbars/byApplication - and whilst these can use the inheritToolbarsFrom construct, if you use that and then re-define an existing toolbar, it doesn't work (from my experiments, at least). So you end up having to copy the existing toolbar from <ICinstDir>/share/cdssetup/dfII/toolbars/byApplication and change it - which is then a maintenance headache. The inheritToolbarsFrom approach is primarily intended when you want to add your own toolbars.

    So I would use IC616 instead if I were you, or at least delay changing the icons until you move to IC616 (I assume it's not that important to make a cosmetic change)...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
