How to not automatically open schematic view during opening layout XL?

Hi,

when I open a layout using the Layout Suite XL oder GXL, the schematic view opens also. Is there a way to prevent this?
IC 6.1.6

Thank you and kind regards

    Hi Magistus,

    You can use the following .cdsenv variable to prevent the schematic from being opened when you open VLS XL/GXL:

    layoutXL    lxSchematicDefaultApp   cyclic  "None"

    or the equivalent in your .cdsinit file:

    envSetVal("layoutXL"  "lxSchematicDefaultApp"  'cyclic  "None")

    See http://support.cadence.com/wps/PA_DocumentViewer/pubs/vxlhelp/vxlhelp6.1.6/appA.html#lxSchematicDefaultApp for additional details.

     

    Regards,

    TOM
