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?

     Is there a way to handle more than one "popup" in the dynamic menu?  I have this text in the SKILL file:

    ; Create Symbol Editor Menu Entries;

    SymToolsMenu = '(
         (popup "Text")
         ("Change Textsize..."     "replay textsize")
         ("Textsize 1..."         "replay text1" )
         ("Textsize 8..."         "replay text8" )
         (popup "Custom Tools")
         ("Review Tool..."            "skill _rt")
         ("Create Pad Shape..."        "skill ns_spad")
           ("Clear SS 0.15mm..."        "clear pin silk 0.15 0.2")
           ("Clear SS 0.13mm..."        "clear pin silk 0.13 0.2")
         ("--------------------"  "")
         ("&mm<->mils..."          "conv")
    )

    Using this just creates "Custom Tools" as a submenu of "Text".  I would like a separate menu item.  Any ideas?
