Location of VXL user guide please

I just spent a frustrating 15 minutes trying to locate the Virtuoso layout XL user guide.  You would think it would be just a matter of going to the "Product manuals"

section, then custom IC design, IC6.18, then checking "virtuoso layout suite" and "user guide", but no, that only leave a Pegasus user guide.  Another search which I am unable to repeat

got me about 3000 references of virtually every individual page of any manual vaguely related to VXL, but no single link to the entire guide.

Please direct me to the entire manual for download if possible?

    First of all, the documentation would normally be in your IC installation - accessible either using the help menu in Virtuoso, or using the cdnshelp command. You can also just look at <ICinstDir>/doc/vxlhelp/vxlhelp.pdf and see it there.

    You can also find it easily on Cadence Online Support (Resources->Product Manuals, IC6.1.8 and then Virtuoso Layout Suite XL User Guide (that's the link to the manual).
