Can't add a custom menu to the context sensitive menu in the schematic view

YZ202408211627

I'm using the following code to add a custom menu in both the navigator and schematic window when I select an object

;; Register action of sub menus
mbRegisterAction("schematic" "Iteam 1" "Iteam 1" "println(\"Item 1\")" "t")
mbRegisterAction("schematic" "Iteam 2" "Iteam 2" "println(\"Item 2\")" "t")

;; Register a hierarchical or slider menu
mbRegisterHierMenu("schematic" "Custom menu" "Custom menu" "t")

;; Register the slider menu context sensitivity
mbSetContextData("schematic" "Custom menu" "Any" "Navigator" "Common")

;; Register the submenus context sensitivity, notice that parent is hierMenu
mbSetContextData("schematic" "Iteam 1" "Any" "Navigator Canvas" "Common" ?parent "Custom menu")
mbSetContextData("schematic" "Iteam 2" "Any" "Navigator Canvas" "Common" ?parent "Custom menu")

This code only shows the menu in the navigator 

  • This is a known limitation, see:

    support.cadence.com/.../ArticleAttachmentPortal
    There is also CCR 1090918.

    A workaround is given at the bottom of the article, which is to inserts the custom menu items directly into each matching schematic popup menu. The possible arguments for schGetPopUpMenu to get the specific popup menus are:
    "wire" "instance" "instPin" "label" "marker" "schNone" "schPin" "schMultiple" "schUnknown" "shapes" "symPin" "symNone" "symUnknown" "symMultiple" "schStandard" "symStandard" "indexDefault" "indexInstPin" "indexPin" "indexSheet" "border"
