Hi Roye,

You can disable the menus from the LibManager using function :
lmgrManageMenuItems()
As far as I know, the libManager contains 4 pull down menus (by
default) : File, Edit, View and Design Manager.
The corresponding skill names for each of these menus are
respectively : fileCascade, editCascade, viewCascade and
designCascade.

So if you type in the following into your CIW :
lmgrManageMenuItems(list("fileCascade") nil)

This will remove the menu "file" from your currently opened libManager
and return "t" in the CIW.
Note that this command will only act on your active libManager. If you
close it down to restart a new one, this later will come with the
default menus again :-(

If you want to make this customization into you whole cadence session,
you just need to create a file called cdsLibMgr.il in your working/
home directory and add the above skill command.
To read more about the cdsLibMgr.il file : What does it contain, how
it is loaded and stuff ... please read the Cadence Library Manager
User Guide (Chapter 11).

FYI : If you want to get the list of the LibManager's menu items, type
in the following into your CIW (The libManager must be opened if you
want to see any result) :
lmgrQueryNamedObjects(). If you try
lmgrQueryNamedObjects("fileCascade"), this will give you the "File"
menu items list.

Good luck ;-)

Riad.
