Virtuoso, ADE etc. windows open on wrong display

itos

Hi,


Virtuoso, ADE etc. seems to open all windows on the left side!

I usually have two monitors with the primary monitor on the right and the secondary monitor on the left. Now Cadence opens all windows on my secondary monitor and I always need to drag them manually back to my primary monitor on the right.

Is there an option that Cadence just opens its windows on the same monitor?

Thanks

itos

EDIT: I use X-forwarding and/or xpra on Windows, so I do not access Cadence locally on a Linux box

  • Those settings are for forms and dialog boxes, not windows.

    You can use these ~/.cdsenv settings:

    layout leWindowBBox string "((120 185) (1020 875))"
    schematic schWindowBBox string "((120 185) (1020 875))"
    schematic symWindowBBox string "((120 185) (1020 875))"

    For the library manager, these settings or similar can be placed in ~/.libmgr :

    cdsLibManager.x: 200
    cdsLibManager.y: 186
    cdsLibManager.width: 925
    cdsLibManager.height: 711

    For the "browse" button on forms, these can be place din ~/.libsel

    cdsLibSelect.x: 986
    cdsLibSelect.y: 104
    cdsLibSelect.width: 925
    cdsLibSelect.height: 580

    Library manager and library select will remember their settings from last time though.

    If these don't help, please contact customer support.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
