How to add a menu item to the export in CIW

 hi all,

I need to add a menu item "Run GDS to Library" (Which writes out GDS files for all layout views in a library) to export in CIW.

Let me know how to do it .

    To use this, Save a template from the File->Export Stream form,

    which contains any layer maps etc that you want to use. Then

    you can run the code by doing:
     


    abWriteLibGDS("libName" "/path/to/template/file")
