Library manager open as new tab, not new window?

yeh1

In the library manager, is it possible to set the double click on a cellview to open not as a new window but as a new tab in the current window (e.g. defined by hiGetSessionWindow(getCurrentWindow())?  It seems the File->Open menu in the layout or schematic window has an option to open as new tab, but not the library manager open.  (It seems File->Open takes longer to come up, that's why I prefer the library manager.  Is there a reason why File->Open takes longer?)  Thanks.

  • Here's a crude but working solution, based on an example in the libManager.pdf documentation:

    1. create cdsLibMgr.il in the directory where Cadence is started:


    lmgrCreateMenu("popup" '(("mapCallback" ("abPopupCallback"))))
    lmgrCreateMenu("designCascade" '(("mapCallback" ("abPopupCallback"))))

    2. in .cdsinit, load "ab.il"  where ab.il is:

    procedure( abPopupCallback(_menuName _l _c _v _f _cat)
    seW = hiGetSessionWindow(getCurrentWindow())
    fspec = list(nil
    'libName _l
    'cellName _c
    'viewName _v
    'viewType nil
    'accessMode "a")
    deOpen( fspec nil "a" "" seW )
    t)

    This way, left mouse opens the cellview in a new window, and right mouse opens in a new tab.
