Preventing the config view from defaulting to AMS

MatthewLove

When I load the config view it defaults to the AMS simulator and not spectre.

I've set the environment variable "asimenv.startup simulator" to spectre but the config view overrides it, is there a way of stopping it?

From the docs

>Sets the default simulator for the Analog Design Environment.

>To set this variable in the .cdsinit file or CIW, use the following call:
>envSetVal("asimenv.startup" "simulator" 'string "simulatorName|auto")

>When this variable is set to auto:
>AMS is set as the default simulator if the view is a config view and it includes Verilog views, which are any text views like .vams, .sv, .v, and so on.
 >Spectre is set as the default simulator if the view is not a config view or it does not include Verilog views.

I haven't set it to auto though and this still happens.

    Use:

    hed.ade setAmsSimulator boolean nil

    or from SKILL:

    envSetVal("hed.ade" "setAmsSimulator" 'boolean nil)

    When the ADE button in the hierarchy editor was first added, it was added for AMS users and unfortunately nobody thought about it being useful for non-AMS users. So now there's a cdsenv setting to tell it not to switch to AMS when you hit the ADE button.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
