Auto Checkout Preferences

I'm looking for the command to get auto checkout set to "always ask me" as a default for cellviews and also files/properties. The log has:

ddsCheckoutPrefForm->prefAskCVs->value="always ask me"

after changing the value manually. I've tried a few things, like CDS_PROMPT_CKOUT and variations of the line above, but haven't hit the correct structure yet.

This is in IC6.1.4.500, layout view.

Is there a location to cross reference commands or another way of determining to correct Cadence command?

Thanks

Before starting virtuoso, this would be:
setenv CDS_AUTO_CKOUT all
setenv CDS_PROMPT_CKOUT all
This is actually the default though. The SKILL equivalent (which will win over the env vars) is:
ddAutoCtlSetVars(3 3 3 3)
that's setting the checkin vars too - the default would be:
ddAutoCtlSetVars(3 2 3 2)
maybe you have something in your environment which is already calling this? ddAutoCtlGetVars() retrieves the current setting.

Perfect. Added it to cdsinit to overwrite the env.

what is last two digits do? I tried changing last two and notices no changes as long as first two digits are remained same.

In Virtuoso, do Help->Virtuoso Documentation Library (or run `cds_root virtuoso`/tools/bin/cdnshelp from the command line) and ensure that the Documentation Browser is shown (View->Show Navigation if it's not there). Then type in ddAutoCtlSetVars in the search box.
