I posted this a couple of weeks ago, and recieved no replies and saw not
postings.  We have had problems with our newsfeed so If this is a repeat
I apologize.

The company I work for has recently transitioned to Mentor Graphics EDA
tools.  Although expensive, we have found them to work very well for
most of our needs.  The time has come to do some customizing of the
user interface to ease some of the operations that we do to our schematics.

Does anyone out there in net-land have any experience in creating/modifying
the popup windows supplied with NetEd.  I have successfully added items
to the menus, but I would like to create a popup form, (Mentor refers to
them as Dialog Boxes) have a user fill in some information in that form,
and then process the information.

I have scoured the manuals and have not been able to find anything.  Is what
I want to do even possible?  The books seem to say it is, but I can not
find any examples.  Is there an unreleased tool for creating popup forms?
I'd appreciate any help or suggestions that any one has to offer.  We are
currently running Mentor Graphics version 6.1.

My second question, does anyone know whether or not Mentor is going to
support the new DN2500 ?


... Mike
