Virtuoso Editor Tools Menu

When I first click on the "Tools" menu in the Virtuoso Schematic/Layout editor the entire Cadence GUI freezes for up to 30 seconds. This does not happen on any subsequent times I click on the Tools menu, even from different windows.

My guess is that it tries to find what tools are available and build that menu on the fly. If that is correct, there should be a way to cache that information once as oppossed to doing the search every time Cadence is restarted.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

PS. I'm using the latest hotfix release of IC5141

Hi Tavi,

When the Tools menu is accessed the first time a license check is performed. Often if a delay is seen there it can be caused by waiting to timeouts for non-existent or high latency license servers. Check your $CDS_LIC_FILE and $LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variables to ensure that the license server which has your Virtuoso licenses is at the front of the list. See the following Cadence Online Support solution (http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:ViewSolution;solutionNumber=20128759) for additional details.
Regards,
TOM
