Reference a file in the toolbar file

psill

 Is it possible to reference a file in the .toolbar file rather than defining all the toolbar items in one file?

 WORK_DIRECTORY/.cadence/dfII/toolbars/byApplication/*.toolbars

 

Thanks

    I think you can only use the inherit to get the toolbars created by Cadence. I added a toolbar to Layout with the following in my Layout.toolbars file:

    (
        (
            nil
            inheritToolbarsFrom "Layout"
        )

        (
            nil
            name myLayToolbar
            text "MyTools"
            items (
                (
                    nil
                    type            action
                    name            myTool1
                    text            "My Tool1"
                    iconFile        "mytool1.png"
                    callback        "myTool1()"
                )
                (
                    nil
                    type            action
                    name            myTool2
                    text            "My tool2"
                    iconFile        "mytool2.png"
                    callback        "myTool2()"
                )
            )
        )

    )

    There are lots of great icons for the toolbars in $CDSHOME/share/cdssetup/icons/24x24/.

    If you want to do it in Skill, invoke cdsFinder (from shell) or skillFinder (from CIW) and search for "toolbar". There are plenty of commands like:

    hiCreateToolbar
    hiAddToolbarItems
