some thing about the user menus in ADE!(complete!)

imagesensor123

 Hi,

    After refering to the analogartist reference, i have copie the simui.menus to my home directory( or work directory), and modify it to add a menu in Tools by add this line ("mytool" ?callback()) in the Tools section of the simui.menus file, but this menu did not turn up when the analogArtist stratup. it seems that the default menus are loaded in ADE. Does anyone know the reason? when i use the command ddGetStartupAll("menus"), the result shows ("~/menu"), i think it is the menu folder which i placed in my home folder. i got quite confused about how to add a user menu in ADE, thanks for explaining this method to me.

         by the way, i have load this menu by adding this line "load("~/menu/simui.menus")" in my .cdsinit.

Regards,

zfeng

     Hello again,

     

    Your questions are difficult for me to answer (I am not very experienced in SKILL also). I just found the solution of the task using the both solutions from the Cadence support which I posted in my topic as base for my work.

    Currently I have to cope with another problem in Cadence environment which I use, in ADE there is a custom button created in some script from our foundry. I want to disable it using the approach bellow but it seems that this button is loaded some time (several seconds) after ADE launching so I could not disable it using this approach.

     

    The script itself works because after this button is created on my ADE if I load commands one by one in CIW this button is deleted.

     

    So can you say how to postpone execution of my scripts let's say with 10 seconds.

     

     procedure(triggerScriptLoad(ADE_WindowID)

       ADE_WindowID=hiGetCurrentWindow()
       menuList=hiGetBannerMenus(ADE_WindowID)
       Unnecessary_Menu=nth(9 menuList)

       hiDeleteBannerMenu(ADE_WindowID 9)
    ; Delete the menu item number 0 is the leftmost menu item.

       hiRaiseWindow(ADE_WindowID)

      )

    deRegUserTriggers("analogArtist-schematic" nil nil 'triggerScriptLoad)
