How to Create new cell view under specific category

I have the same problem with this post, but don't see any response.

https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/custom-ic-design/52344/assign-new-file-to-category-upon-creation

 

Q:  Can you assign the cell view to specific category when you create it? 

it's really annoying that you have to manually modify the category to add the cell view.

I am using IC618. 

The same problem came up 18 years ago, https://comp.cad.cadence.narkive.com/QgTHASuJ/adding-cells-to-category-when-creating-them . Hope there is a solution now.

Thanks.

    The suggestion in the old news group post is also still valid, although of course that example doesn't prompt you for which category to use.

    There are a number of change requests (CCRs) asking for this - I just went through the process of grouping them together as it wasn't clear that this had been asked multiple times. The master CCR number is 1033239.

    I would suggest you contact customer support (create a case on the support site) to request that a duplicate is filed on your behalf.

    Yes, as an academic institution you normally have to go through your University liaison for case creation (this is all to do with ensuring that there is some control over support volume when the amount paid for the software is very low).

    Sorry!
