How do I pop up a reminder message when user creating a new cell?

JS20250120924

Hi

I'd like to add a reminder for users to be aware of some of the considerations when they create a new cell.

Specifically, when the user opens Library Manager->File->new->cell view, when the user clicks, a dialog box or text window will pop up to inform the user of some precautions, and the user clicks to confirm and proceed to create a new cell.

So far I've tried creating a trigger using the ddRegTrigger function, but it doesn't seem to support connecting the “create new cell view” with a callback function.

On top of that, I tried writing cdsLibMgr.il files to customize the menus, but the Cadence help documentation doesn't have instructions on how to do this.

If you have a good way please inform me, thanks.

PS: I'm using IC6.1.7-64b

    You could replace the 'Create > Cell View...' menu entry with your own that first shows the reminder and then continue with the original callback.
    However, if I assume correctly and you want to prevent the user entering specific stuff, reminders are rather unsuited from psychological point of view.
    It might be better to either replace the 'new cellview' form and check/enforce the user input when it is entered, or use the PreCreateObj trigger to check it before cell creation (see: Virtuoso Studio Design Environment SKILL - ddGetObj).
    An example for the latter can be found in support.cadence.com/.../ArticleAttachmentPortal

    Help for Libmgr customisation is in
    Cadence Library Manager User Guide -- Customization of Menus Using the cdsLibMgr.il File

    The functions for the cdsLibMgr.il are documented in:
    Cadence Application Infrastructure SKILL Reference

    You could also just search for 'cdsLibMgr.il' in the support, there several good examples.
