How to add a menu item to the export in CIW

venuuuuu

 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 .

  • You'll need to create a form to fill in some of the fields, and then use this as a callback to that form. There is plenty of coverage of writing forms in the documentation, and examples on COS and on this forum.

    Then  you'll need to add a menu. I would suggest not adding this into File->Export, although it could be done by taking the menus files in <ICinstDir>/tools/dfII/etc/tools/menus (look at the README file in there) and customizing it. Alternatively you could use hiCreatePulldownMenu() and hiInsertBannerMenu to add your own menu in the CIW.

    Hopefully that gives you enough pointers. I do not have the bandwidth to write it for you, and there are plenty of examples around that should allow you to get started.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
