How to make Display Option automatically loaded for layout

Is it possible to make Display Option automatically loaded for layout whenever I open a file for layout?
Now I have to set it each time and sometimes I forgot so off gird error happened.
I have a file including setting but don't know how to make it load automatically.

(IC6.1.8-64b.500.8)

    Did you try using the save options at the bottom of the Display Options form? If you save to the library, then any layout in that library will get the settings. Or if you save to your ~/.cdsenv file, it will get loaded next time you open Virtuoso for any cell. The saving options are most specific on the left (cellView saves it just for this cellVIew,  library to anything in this library, tech lib for anything that uses the same technology library (you probably won't have write access though), and then finally to a file. Note that the settings are stored as cellView properties (Edit->Properties->CellView), or a library hierarchical property (right mouse over the library in the library manager - then pick properties, and then there will be a viewProps property (with EXPAND) and then you can pick "maskLayout' and see the individual properties.
