How to use version control in IC615?

dogrush

For using IC615, I found the design manager menu from the library manager cannot be used for checkin/checkout.

How to activate them? Thank you.

  • I would be very wary if you are trying to do the management of the files using a direct revision control system. You will be missing the important information about co-managed data - there are various files (e.g. within cellViews) that need to track and be managed together, and unless you have something that is aware of that (which is what the commercial integrations do), you're likely to have problems if you ever revert to an old version (which is rather the point of a DM system... if you never need to go back, you never need to keep versions in the first place).

    Regards,

    Hi All, 

    is there any solution in IC617 that can help in design versioning.

    Also is there an efficient way to archive designs in smaller size like some tools have an inbuilt archive option that creates a smaller size compressed file as compared that with using folder zipping utilities ?

    No, as I said earlier in this thread, there is no built-in version control within Virtuoso - it is provided by third-party connections partners. It wasn't a matter of this not being implemented yet, we did in the past (many years ago), but decided to withdraw from providing design management capabilities ourselves.

    There's nothing to product inbuilt compressed archives (you can do it yourself, but of course the tools won't be able to read it until you uncompress it).
