Disable "copy to cellview" option in ADE Variables

This code does it for ADE Explorer. However, I'm not sure there's much point because you can still do Right Mouse over the "Design Variables" on the Setup assistant in the window, and access it there (and I don't think there's a way to disable that):

procedure(CCFdisableCopyToCellviewMenu(args)
    let((menu)
	menu=car(pcreMatchList("^sevVariables" hiGetBannerMenus(args->window)))
	when(menu
	    menu=symeval(menu)
	    menu->CopyToCellview->sevDisableCallback=nil
	    hiDisableMenuItem(menu 'CopyToCellview)
	)
    )
)

deRegUserTriggers("explorer" nil nil 'CCFdisableCopyToCellviewMenu)

Hello, Andrew.  I am simulating a large circuit which has hundreds of parameter variables using ADE Explorer or ADE L.  I manually assign valus to variables one by one, which is a huge project. To make it easier to assign values to variables, I found a method on the Internet, that is, "I right click on the top of Design Variable, I can export them to CSV. Then I can modify form there. Once done, I can select import from csv". When I follow this method and right click "Design Variables" in the ADE Explorer, there are no export to csv and import from csv in the menu, as shown in below picture. I am confused. My cadence version is cadence IC617.

You must be using a pretty old version - this was introduced in IC6.1.7 ISR6 5 years ago - your image shows Explorer, so you must be using something between the base release and the first five hotfix versions.

Hi, Andrew. I applied to the school for an account using Cadence. I don't have permission to modify the software. The specific version is IC6.1.7-64b.500.1. In my circuit, there are hundreds of parameter variables. I need to simulate my circuit hundreds of times, and each time I had to modify design variables. Now, I manually assign valus to variables one by one in the ADE L. Is there any other way I can quickly assign values to design variables in this version?  Thank you.

Not really, other than writing SKILL code. Something like:

sess=asiGetCurrentSession()
varFile=outfile("./vars.txt")
pprint(asiGetDesignVarList(sess) varFile)
close(varFile)

Then edit the vars.txt file (I didn't bother with the code above trying to change the format - it will be a list of lists). To replace, you could do:

sess=asiGetCurrentSession()
varFile=infile("./vars.txt")
varInfo=car(lineread(varFile))
close(varFile)
asiSetDesignVarList(sess varInfo)

Thank you very much, Andrew. You helped me out of a big difficulty.
