Is there a quicker way to display an output after sims?

I'm sure there is one, but in all the toolbars/assistants  etc, I can't find a way after a sim to shorten:

ADE_Explorer> Setup > Select on design > outputs to be plotted  ------ then click on node of interest.

There appear to be icons for just about any action that I will never have any interest in enabling, but no single easy way to achieve the

five click action above. It's got to be somewhere!

    I agree, this would be a good enhancement request. I'm rather surprised it's not there - probably nobody thought to ask. You can (if the results have been saved) just do right mouse over the node to plot transient and ac results, so maybe that's enough if it's already been saved.

    Also, you could add a bindkey for schematics which uses this:

    sevChangeOutsOnSchematic(sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()) 'plot)

    That would then mean you could press the bindkey to direct get to being prompted to click on nodes to plot. I also just did it by using Window->Toolbars->Customise and then adding a new entry in the Tools toolbar of type Action with the same call-back as above. Now I have:

    and pressing this does exactly the same as the menu you mentioned.

    Perhaps you could contact customer support to request the toolbar icon to be added for this as standard?
