    Hi Ganesh,

    It would help rather a lot if you said which version you're using. In current versions, it should be:

    pipoDisplay(transStreamOutNewForm)

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the reply.

    your command has worked.

    My virtuoso version is ICADV12.3.But I exportedby going through File>Export>Stream.

    It is executing the old command.

    How to set to new.

    Please help me.

    Thanks

    Most likely you have some old menus files lying around and you're not picking up the menus from the installation. Check using:

    cdswhich -all menus/ciw.menus

    Andrew.

    You need to type this in a terminal window, not the CIW. Sorry, I didn't explicitly say that.

    Andrew.

    sorry, I did not explained you properly.

    The result is cdswhich: Command not found.

    You must have some wrapper script around virtuoso to start it rather than having the IC tools in your path. Instead type this in the CIW:

    ddGetStartupAll("menus/ciw.menus")

    Regards,

    Andrew.
