How to set default corners in maestro

MikeVP

We have a set of corners defined in a csv file.  How can I set these corners to be the defaults when a new maestro view is created?

I saw this post, but it was not answered.  Have corners' sweep and temperature sweep corners be auto-populated in maestro. - Custom IC SKILL - Cadence Technology Forums - Cadence Community

Thanks!

    Dear MikeVP,

    It doesn't make sense that I have to use adexl, when that tool is deprecated.  

    I think I can provide some insight on this MikeVP.

    In a case I filed some time ago, I specifically asked why the syntax for a maestro setting was labeled "adexl.XXX". I believe it was with respect to the command envSetVal(“adexl.distribute” “continueICRPRunOnAbruptGUIExit” ‘boolean t).

    The Application Engineer I was working with told me that there are so many customers with significant amounts of SKILL code written using the  "adel.XXX" syntax, it was considered too burdensome to change or retire the "axexl.XXX" syntax and migrate to a "maestro.XXX" syntax.

    Hence, the adexl.XXX syntax remains in spite of the tool's sunset mode classification.

    Shawn is correct. Since a lot of the underlying infrastructure is that from ADE XL, we did not duplicate everything and so many settings which are common to XL and Explorer/Assembler remain with the cdsenv settings being for adexl. It would be riskier to change all those to maestro, and mean that carefully chosen defaults for customers would need updating or replicating. We do however use the maestro tool name in the cdsenv settings for functionality that is only in Explorer/Assembler.

    The perils of treading carefully with legacy setup and behaviour!
