Disable a menu item in schematic window but enable it in layout window

Martinsh

A pull down menu is created and loaded in schematic and layout windows. One of the menu item is just for layout. So I'd like it being enable in layout window and disabled in schematic window. How to do?

Best regards,

Martin

    Martin,

    Unfortunately the underlying mechanism which allows a trigger on the menu being posted (so it can dynamically enable/disable menu items) isn't documented - I have change request CCR 1388189 asking for this. You might want to contact customer support asking for a duplicate to be filed on your behalf (so far nobody else has asked for this other than me!)

    In the absence of that, I think you'll need to create a separate pulldown menu for each application with the same contents, with a separate menu item for the entry you want to be differently enabled/disabled.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Thanks Andrew. I will follow your advice and separate the pulldown menu.
