how to load skill script in the icrp without .cdsinit

YiWang

Hi Everyone

I am end up with such a situation:

On one hand, I'd like to skip loading the .cdsinit into icrp in ADEXL, as the in-house wrapper significantly slow down the launching process.

This can be done by setting the environment variable by the command:

envSetVal("adexl.icrpStartup" "binaryName" 'string "virtuoso -nocdsinit")

But on the other hand, my expression in the adexl relies on a custom-defined function, which is used to be loaded via the my .cdsinit.custom.

I notice that the custom-defined function needs to be loaded by icrp, otherwise I will get "eval error".

Thus I cannot disable loading the .cdsinit for icrp.

Then I have such a paradox now.

I'd like to ask, is there way to load a particular skill script for icrp without loading .cdsinit.

Many thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Yi

    Hi Yi,

    If it's a custom calculator function, what I'd suggest is using the "fx" button in the calculator function panel (or in the ADE Explorer/Assembler Expression Builder) to register your function with the calculator. This then allows for a form to be created, but importantly it will get automatically loaded in the ICRP too without you needing to load the code from the .cdsinit.

    An alternative (worse) solution would be to change the cdsenv command above to be "virtuoso -nocdsinit -restore loadMyCode.il". 

    Another (good) solution would be to put code in the .cdsinit to omit the stuff that's not needed - using axlIsICRPProcess() to check whether you're in the ICRP or not.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    For my existing custom calculator functions, I have already have the code for the GUI and registration, as they were developed before the "Expression Builder".

    I will spend some time to separate the code of GUI, and use the "expression builder" to register the function without cdsinit.

    And I will forward your good solution to the our CAD team to improve the company cdsinit file.

    Best Regards
