default settings for ViVa waveform viewer

vivkr

Is there any way to change/define default settings for ViVa waveform viewer? I usually start my simulations with a script instead of directly via ADE-L and view the results using the standalone ViVa viewer.

As I typically want to save the plots for embedding in reports, I need to make the traces fatter ("bold") which is very painful if one has to do it by hand for all the curves. 

How can I change this so that the traces are plotted bold by default? I'd also be glad to know what other settings I can modify at ViVa startup.

Thanks,

Vivek

     Found the solution. It is possible to define environment variables for ViVa in the .cdsenv file.

    In my case, I used 

    wavescan.trace lineThickness string "bold"

    This got me what I wanted. The ViVa help button turned out to be pretty useful in this case. Ought to have checked before posting.
