Why does renaming a file on Cadence Virtuoso take so much time?

Hi,

I have observed that renaming a file (like a cell view name/schematic) takes so much time on Virtuoso takes so much time even if I deselect Update Instances option. On the other hand, if I copy the view and then delete the old view it's really fast. Is this a bug or there is some specific reason behind it? It's frustrating sometimes because I have things running in the background and I can't open them when virtuoso gets stuck due to renaming.

    Venkat,

    Are you using a Design Management tool? If so, rename actually does a copy and a delete operation, and so that can be fairly expensive (the vault needs to know the name has changed, and the interface via which DM tools are integrated doesn't support a rename operation, if my memory is correct). Other than that, I wouldn't expect it to be that slow - perhaps you should contact customer support so that it can be investigated? Update instances is different, because that has to fix all the references to the renamed thing...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
