assign new functionality to libMgr

mlea

Hi all,

I got a general question regarding libMgr.

I've lately wrote a new tool, that has a skill GUI. the GUI set-up values is being saved as a text file in the design path, just in parallel to the schematic, layout and symbol views,

and can be seen/open from the libMgr utility. the thing is that when i open the setup file it open as a text file( which it really is ), which doesn't give much. i can also load the setup from the GUI itself of course.

but what I try to achieve is that when ever i open the setup file from the libMgr ( say the file name is constant, for example - libGenState) , it will pop up the schematic view, and than pop up the skill GUI, and load the 

setup file into it..:-).

I do remember that the installation contain a file that determine which tool is launched for each view suffix. if i can modify this file to contain my own procedure that deals with libGenState file name, it would be great.

can any one advise?

thx

  • Hi Meny,

    You probably need to register a new view type with the data registry (search in the help for data.reg - also on support.cadence.com) plus also register the SKILL code with deRegApp so that Virtuoso knows what triggers to call when you try to open that type of cellView. I'm sure there are examples of doing this on support.cadence.com too.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
