Calculator:User buttons

 Hi,

 Is there a way in the Calculator for the user to add a new button similar to the "vt/vf/vdc" ones which will allow him to select an instance in schematics and return the hierarchical path in the "buffer" window? :)

 Thank U,

Ionut

    Hi Andrew,

    Just wanted to follow up on this topic. I have created a Skill function that takes as input an instance path and returns the Vds of the instance to the user.
    The function reads the data from the DC sim results and user needs to add it in the AdeXL expressions as:
    getInstVds("Xtop.Xlevel1.Xinst")

    As there will be multiple instances of interest, the process is tedious to pick all the instance and the hierarchical paths.

    Do U have any suggestions on how this could be automated to allow user to select the instances from schematic for which the function to be applied?
    (vt/vf/vdc type seem to be the best way, but not sure how will that fit in AdeXl/Calculator)

    Thank U,
    Ionut
