Adding skill command to the toolbar incl. Icon

PatEscher
PatEscher over 1 year ago

Hello, 
does anyone know if it is possible to add a skill command I created/registered to the toolbar and also assign an icon to it programmatically via skill?

No problem to add the skill commands as a menu (like the File menu for example)
No problem in manually adding the skill comman to the toolbar by going through View --> customize toolbar

But as said, I want to do it programmatically, as otherwise all our users have to do by themselves

Thanks, 

Patrick

    Hi Patrick

    I see you know the method through "View > Customize toolbar". Are you instead looking for a SKILL command that would add a menu or toolbar? Have you seen the follwoing article: 

    Article (20416434) Title: Adding and Appending Allegro Menu Items using SKILL
    URL: https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1Od000000050ObEAI

    I'm attaching the PDF in case you don't have access to our COS website.

    Hello Juan, 

    no, how to add a new menu like described in the pdf is not a problem. we are already doing this. --> this is going into the menu bar
    We want to add it into the tool bar, like when doing it through the View > Customize Toolbar

    Hello HLB, 

    I need a way to do this programmatically. Doing it through the UI it not an issue but is not what we need.

    Thanks

    Patrick

    I am in the same boat. Say I have 100 Users of allegro and I need to add a Icon on all of their machines. I need a programmatic way to do this just like adding skill Menu's . 

    The only thing I can think of is recording a script that does it and forcing that to run right at bootup of the Allegro Instance . But thats hacky and error prone . Maybe this can be a feature added in the 25 release.
