Running Cadence with dual monitors |
|
|
I am trying to run Cadence using two monitors, but I am having
difficulty making it work because all Cadence Popup Menus/Messages
appear in the center of the two screens. I would like to continue to
use only a single Exceed Session, but I need to find a way to control
the location of these Popups. Does anyone have a Skill Routine that
can do this?
thanks in advance,

SKILL or cdsenv is not really the right place for this. The window manager
(CDE, gnome, KDE, enlightenment, ...) configuration is a better option. |

Using linux? Xinerama? KDE? Gnome? What are your multi-head settings?

I'm running linux using Hummingbird Exceed 9.0, my ideal setup would
allow me to spread one Cadence session between both monitors, allowing
my schematic to be on the left and Layout on the right side, allowing
me to use Virtuoso XL. The one problem with this setup is that all
Cadence popup windows appear in the center of the two screens, so I'm
looking for a way to control these, and place them in the center of one
of my monitors.

Try calling hiSetDBoxDefaultLocation(l_location) where l_location a list of
two integers specifying the x and y coordinates. This should work for most
simple dialogs (dboxes a/k/a dialog boxes).
Forms and option forms (enterfunction forms) default placement are controlled
by four CIW properties: formPlacement, optionFormPlacement, formRelativeTo and
optionFormRelativeTo. The default values for the two placment options are
"default" and for the relativeTo options are "screen".
The legal values for placement are "default", "left", "right", "top" and
"bottom", and the legal values for relativeTo are "CIW", "currentWindow"
and "screen".
Play around with these to see if they help.
These won't help if the logic that brings up the form or dialog is
specifically setting the location -- but I think most just default.

P.S. CIW properties are accessed and set against the CIW. You can use either
hiGetCIWindow() or window(1) to access:
hiGetCIWindow()->formRelativeTo
"screen"
window(1)->formPlacement = "left"
"left"
MyCIW = hiGetCIWindow()
window:1
MyCIW->optionFormRelativeTo = "currentWindow"
"currentWindow"
etc., ...
