Inserting a hierarchy of OCEAN scripts as a menu in CIW

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by Svenn Are Bjerkem, Jul 8, 2005.

  1. Hi,

    I have got this idea for a feature and need some help thinking: I
    currently do a lot of simulations automated with OCEAN, and need to
    organize my scripts. I had the Idea of saving the scipts as cell views,
    but soon discovered that the lack of hierarchy in will soon crowd the
    file manager with ocean views. (Besides, I haven't managed to implement
    it the way I want to.) So I am not following that idea very hard.

    I would like to organize my scripts in a directory hierarcy and then
    write a SKILL snippet that traverse this hierarcy and mirror it as a
    menu with cascades and subcascades in the CIW window.

    ../ocean/myLib/cellView1/setup/cornerRun.ocn
    would result in a menu item like:
    CIW->ocean->myLib->cellView1->setup->cornerRun
    which would perform the following command:
    (load "./ocean/myLib/cellView1/setup/cornerRun.ocn")

    ../ocean/myLib/cellView1/hold/paramRunWM1_vs_WM2.ocn
    would result in a menu item like:
    CIW->ocean->myLib->cellView1->hold->paramRunWM1_vs_WM2
    which would perform the following command:
    (load "./ocean/myLib/cellView1/hold/paramRunWM1_vs_WM2.ocn")

    etc.

    There should be a separate menu item called "update" to be able to
    update the menu hierachy during a session.

    I think this should be possible, but as it seems to be such an obvious
    wish I thought maybe somebody has been there and done that.

    Help and ideas are welcome.
