add instance from library via pulldown menu.

Hi IC Community

My experience with Cadence’s Skill is very limited. I have created a pull down menu with sliders in the upper layout editor banner window with some success. My question is, how do I utilize the callback function to place an instance from a cell library into the layout editor window, when selected.

software version: 5.1.41

Example below:

mlf_frame = hiCreatePulldownMenu( 'editMenu "edit"

list(

hiCreateMenuItem(

                           ?name `3x3

                           ?itemText "M_3X3"

                           ?callback  "??????()"

What command should I place here in the callback function ??????. Any help would be greatly

appreciated.

 
Thanks

Johnny

    It's easier to just preset the create instance form:

    procedure(MYleHiCreateInst(lib cell view)
        leCreateInstForm->libName->value = lib
        leCreateInstForm->cellName->value = cell
        leCreateInstForm->viewName->value = view
        leHiCreateInst()
    )
