assign default value to hierarchy editor "specify reference verilog"

mlea

Hi all,

i would like to have a default value (some string) for the hierarchy editor  field : set cell view-> specify reference verilog.

I would like that each time this menu is selected, the pop up form that appear, will automatically have a default path point to some file.

I assume that this kind of task require a trigger, that will trig some skill script, each time a config view is open. I guess this is the "easy" part.

the question is what commands or approach i should use here ( regardless of the trigger part)?

or maybe this is unnecessary , and there some .cdsinit line setup for this ?( probably not )

thx

    Hi Meny,

    I believe  you've asked Gennady about this too (as he asked me), and the answer is that this is not possible at the moment. It would need an enhancement request (the form is not a SKILL form, and you can't change the context menus to intercept it). There's also no cdsenv to initialise the field.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
