problem with category in library manager when add instance

 hi, there

i am running ic5141 with RHEL4  box.

the day before yesterday,it worked all right.

but yesterday when i create a new cell under my own library attacted to a IBM_PDK, i found that when i press "i" to add instance and select a item in the category box, there is nothing appear in the "cell" and following "view" box. i dont know why, i remember i did not change anything. And i also found that when i use library manager directly through CIW, it worked ok and showed the category.

any suggestion?

best regards

minci

    Hi Minci,

    Did you inadvertently enter a filter for either the cell or the view?  View->Filters will show if any are set, the default is that both fields are blank, meaning no filtering.  If this is not the issue, perhaps something happened to the category files?  Look in the library at the <category>.Cat files - these are ascii text files with a straightforward format.

    Hope this helps!

    Lawrence.
