Text view default name

[Roger Light]

Hi,

Does anybody know how I can configure IC50 so that when I select
"text-editor" in the "Create New File" dialog whilst creating a new cell
view it will specify a default cell view name in the same way as the
other cell views/tools do?

Thanks,

Roger

Hi,

This has to be done in the installation directory
under
<install_dir>/share/cdssetup/registry/tools
and
<install_dir>/share/cdssetup/registry/data

Have a look at ../data/vhdl.reg and ../tools/vhdlEditor.reg
for instance.

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for your reply. Looking in those directories I can add new tools
and have tried changing lots of settings but I cannot seem to change the
default cellview. I searched for "symbol" as an example but it is not
specified as a view name at all in any of the files. There are plenty of
view types, but no view names as far as I can see.

Do you have any further suggestions?

Best regards,

Roger

Hi Roger,

I think Bernd misunderstood what you're trying to do.

envSetVal("graphic" "viewNameToTypeList" 'string "fred maskLayout,jim schematic,albert text")

This allows you to specify (as the name suggests) the view name to view type mapping.

So if you select "Text Editor" as the tool (which corresponds to a viewType of "text" in the
registry), it will give a default view name of albert. Same idea for layout and schematic views.

The format is a comma separated list of viewname/viewType pairs - each pair is space
separated.

Regards,

Andrew.
