Adding a new menu item to Allegro PCB Editor

chads108

 I want to add, or really append, a new menu item to the Allgro PCB Editor menu.  What is the easiest way to handle this without having to modify the installed menu?  Maybe someone has an example that I could follow?

  • Mike,

     Thank you, that was very helpful.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I basically used your file as a template to create my own.  Upon open Allegro, I get the following mesage in the command pane. 

    MENU UPDATES COMPLETE = Standard Cadence allegro + Customizations
    W- *WARNING* (axlUIMenuInsert): Invalid string - nil

     Any ideas?  I can't seem to see what would be wrong with my file.  I have attached my SKILL file to this post.  I know I am close, but I am obviously missing something.
