Adding menu item at bottom of list in Layout 22.1

Jim OMahony

Hi,

I have added a menu item under the Tools menu using the following command:

axlUIMenuRegister( "padeditdb" '( ("Create a Via according to IPC rules..." "EXL_ViaStack"  ) ) )

This adds the command at the top of the list. Can anyone tell me how to add the command at the bottom of the list ?

Thanks.

    Hi, 

    axlUIMenuRegister, allows you to register menu items to be loaded when Allegro loads a new menu. It is a combination of axlUIMenuFind and axlUIMenuInsert.

    axlUIMenuFind has the option of top or bottom which indicates the axlUIMenuInsert to insert the value in that location. For example:

    q = axlUIMenuFind( nil -1 'bottom)
    z = axlUIMenuInsert(q "Google" "http ">http://google.com" )

    Thanks mahimag. I was trying to find a way to use the axlUIMenuRegister command as it is possible to use on a single line.

    I have ended up with the following code which takes 7 lines :

    procedure( PadMenuInsert(t_menufile)
    let(( q m )
    q = axlUIMenuFind( nil "padeditdb" 'bottom)    
    m = axlUIMenuInsert( q "Create a Via according to IPC rules..." "EXL_ViaStack" )
    );let
    );defun
    axlTriggerSet('menu  'PadMenuInsert)

    This puts my menu in Tools>Padstack at the bottom of the list.
