    Either create a pulldown menu using hiCreatePulldownMenu and then use deRegUserTriggers to register a user menu trigger - this can then return a list of pulldown menus to add for a particular application. Or look in <ICinstDir>/tools/dfII/etc/tools/menus (there's a README file in there) to see how to create menus files to add your own menus.

    There are solutions on this on the Cadence support site, or examples in the documentation (I'm sure - although I didn't check).

    Andrew.
