How do I make my Library Manager auto-refresh after a workarea update?

LongTimeNovice

Hello.

 I apologize if this isn't the correct forum for my question.

 I'm using Cadence 6.1.5 with Library Manager version 2.6

 Up until very recently, my library manager would automatically refresh after doing a workarea update (I'm using the SOS version tool).

 Now it doesn't automatically refresh.  I have to go the View menu and click Refresh after each workarea update.  My coworkers don't have this problem.  I do enjoy adjusting settings in my .cdsenv file, but I don't know what I would have done to cause this.

 What controls the auto-refresh function?  I assume there's a checkbox someplace to turn this function on and off.

 Thank you for any advice you can provide!

 Steve.

  •  Thank you, Andrew!

    After the SOS update,  the Library Manager says "Refreshing data from disk..." and then that's where it stops.  Like it's expecting to do it and just can't.  When I do a View/Refresh, Library Manger says

    "\a cdsLibManager->viewRefreshButton->value = t
    \o MPS request: refresh library list"

     and it refreshes properly.

     I don't see "DB auto refresh" anywhere.  The refresh I'm talking about actually refreshes my cellviews if they were updated during the SOS workarea update. So if I've got a schematic open, and that schematic has changed since I opened it, it will refresh when I hit the OK button on the "Refresh Data From Disk" GUI that automatically pops up after my update.  But now that GUI is no longer automatically coming up after my updates.

     I'm going to temporarily run Cadence with a default .cdsenv file and .cdsinit file to make sure it's nothing in my settings causing the problem.  If that doesn't work, I'll submit the problem to my CAD team.  If they can't figure it out, they'll submit a service request to Cadence.

     Thank you so much for looking into this.  I really appreciate the time you spent on it.  If I end up with a solution from CAD or Cadence, I'll post it here.

     Have a great day!

     Steve.
