Drop-down menu disappears from schematic window, moving into layout window when VXL is launched

Hello,

A custom Drop Down menu, skill based, for Virtuoso is showing OK when launching Layout or Schematic windows individually. When VXL is launched from schematic window the Drop Down menu disappears from the schematics window and moves to the layout window. Upon loading Virtuoso I am loading Triggers.il file as shown below.

Any tip why will be greatly apperciated...

Thanks,

Danny

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the advice. Below please find the code for the UtilitiesMenu() and schUtilitiesMenu(). Both code modules are loading few skill files. You are correct. In both scripts there is a use of hiGetCurrentWindow() function.

Could you please provide a short example of better usage of the Trigger function? 'deRegUserTriggers("maskLayout" nil nil 'DRSetups)' so this issue will be solved?

Thanks for your time and help!
