Callback for a Pulldown menu

Hello Everybody,

Problem: I want to integrate my personal tool into the Analog Artist by
adding a "pulldown menu". But, I don't know how to do this?

I created a pulldown menu using hiCreatePulldownMenu() and placed one
MenuItem. Now I don't know what should be the callback for the MenuItem
in the hiCreateMenuItem() function.

Detailed description for those who want to know why I am doing this:
In the "Parametric analysis tool" provided by Analog Artist, I am not
being able to access the data in the way I want, as the result of each
simulation is being stored in one directory. So, I wrote an ocean
script that performs all the simulations required for my parametric
analysis in the way I want and stores the data at an appropriate
location. This is running and working. In order for making it available
for me all the time, without changing the values in the script each
time, I want to integrate it into Analog Artist. But I don't know how
to run this script from the Analog Artist.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Best regards,
VSS

 

The way to add menu items to Analog Artist window is to create spectre.menus
(or spectreS.menus, hspiceD.menus, etc) in the working directory with the
menud definitions. I think it is described in the help files, but forget
which one.

Hello Satya,

Can you please be more specific on how to create such a MENU? Or could
you point me to the exact help source?

I created a new pulldownmenu into Analog Artist but am not being able
to callback a pop-up menu that I created to serve my purpose.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Take a look at the README file and spectre.menus file in

<instdir>/tools/dfII/etc/tools/menus
