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 .

  • OK, starting from this last question. You need to call ciwMenuInit() in the .cdsinit before you try to insert the banner menu.

    For the previous question, several issues:

    1. The gds() function is checking for the existence of a variable called CCSgdsForm, yet the function CCScreategdsForm() is creating a form called CCScelltoGdsForm. So it checks for the existence of it, and then creates a different form.
    2. Rather bizarrely gds() is calling enterString(). Why? Surely you want to use hiDisplayForm() instead? That will avoid having to have the function CCSgdsDoneProc at all.
    3. If you do that, you will need to create the form as a 'nonoptions form rather than an 'options form.
    4. The CCSchangeDirectory() function is also referring to the wrong form name.
    5. CCSchangeDirectory() is calling applyEnterFun() which wouldn't be necessary if this is done properly (i.e. without an enter function)
    6. When you create the form, you'll probably want to use ?callback to specify a function which is called when the OK/Apply button is pressed.

    I've not followed through or tried to debug the entire code - but it's a bit messed up, so I suggest you try to unravel things using the suggestions above first.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
