how to change display option of a cell initially ?

In the property of each component, there are CDF parameter, Value, and Display Options. The default options are "off" always. Is that possible I can change this "off" status to "both" initially ? So this change can be effective afterwards still ?

    Obviously you wouldn't want all parameters to be displayed by default - it would be too cluttered for all devices. So I don't think that makes sense. This cyclic field is not the CDF way of displaying parameters though - this adds a textDisplay object onto the schematic to display the relevant parameters, rather than using the CDF label display mechanism.

    If this is for a component with CDF, and you have symbols that have the cdsParam(1), cdsParam(2) type "ILLabel" (evaluated) labels, then in the CDF you control which parameters are displayed by default in each of these cdsParam placeholders. This is controlled via the Tools->CDF->Edit form in the CIW, on the Interpreted Labels tab. You'd need to set the CDF type to "Base" if  you want the setting to be stored on disk to be remembered. You can also use the View->Annotations->Setup form to override it in the current session - this is a little more complicated and I suggest you read the documentation to make sure you understand how to apply this to all devices.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
