Copied adexl view have a reference to original view's history paths in data.sdb

Hello all,

Right now I investigate about a curious thing that happens when an user copied an adexl view.

I have two projects, which belong to two different business units of my company. Unfortunately, the people who setup the projects are already on Christmas holiday.

In the first project, when I make a copy of an adexl view, history items are still in the view, but they loose the reference to the directory with the simulation results.

This mean that, inside the data.sdb file, fields like resultsname, simresults psfdir, ... are empty: <resultsname></resultsname><simresults></simresults>. This behaviour is wanted.

In the second project, these fields are kept identical to the ones belonging to the original view. This is annoying because when one of our designer tries to delete a history item, the results of the original view are also affected.

Is there an environment variable which controls this behaviour? Or is is a callback which patches the new data.sdb? Both projects run ICADV 12.30.719

Any help is appreciated.

Best regards,

Patrik

    I usually create a new adexl view and use File -> Import to import the setup from the other view. Like this, I don't have any foreign history items at all.

    Hi Frank and all,

    I have encountered the problem that points to the original schematic while setting outputs.

    If you would like to set the output from your new design,

    Open the copied ADEXL -> select the Tests on the left bar -> open the ADEL Tests -> Press Setup -> Design -> Your new schematic.

    Best Regards

    Daniel
