possible to add other reports to "Status" report?

Lock2002

One report that I occasionally forget to run is the "single-pin net report". The times I forget it is when I should have. I'd like to add that to the reports automatically run during "status". Is it possible to modify this or is there some other way folks do it so they don't forget?

    If you want to add a menu you could start by reading the following blog

    https://community.cadence.com/cadence_blogs_8/b/pcb/posts/make-menus-your-own-customizing-menus-and-toolbars-with-things-you-use-daily

    I use the following code (saved in a .il file) to output some reports

    axlCmdRegister( "final checks" 'FinalChecks ?cmdType "general")
    defun( FinalChecks ()
        let( ( final_verif )
            final_verif = axlDMOpenFile("TEMP", "final_verif.scr", "w")
            fprintf(  final_verif "version 17.2\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "setwindow pcb\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "generaledit\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "status\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "generaledit\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "setwindow form.status\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "FORM status drc_update\n")  
            fprintf(  final_verif "generaledit\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "reports \"Dangling Lines, Via and Antenna Report\"\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "reports \"Net Single Pin and No Pin\"\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "reports \"Shape No Net\"\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "reports \"Shape Islands\"\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "reports \"Unconnected Pins Report\"\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "reports \"Design Rules Check (DRC) Report\"\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "reports \"Design Rules Net Shorts Check (DRC) Report\"\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "reports \"Waived Design Rules Shorts Check (DRC) Report\"\n")
            fprintf(  final_verif "setwindow pcb\n")
            axlDMClose(final_verif)
            axlShell("replay ./final_verif.scr")
            if( isFile("./final_verif.scr") then deleteFile("./final_verif.scr"))
        );let
    ); defun

    Search the forum for how to add menus and automatically load skill files.

    That sir is beautifully written SKILL code!  Finally something not looking like an obfuscation contest :)
