environment variables

Michael Robinson

While looking at the reference for leHiCreateVia, I found a reference for the environment variable to control the Mode: envSetVar("layout" "viaMode" 'cyclic "Auto"). What is the environment variable for the Check Same Net checkbox?

     My way of figuring out what env. var. correspond with a
    specific UI setting.

    1. Save default .cdsenv to a specifc name e.g. cdsenv1
    2. Modify UI setting
    3. Save new .cdsenv to a new name e.g. cdsenv2
    4. Do a file diff between cdsenv1 and cdsenv2
       The difference will be the env. var. reflecting the UI
       modification.

    Best is to use
     - All possible tools
     - All tool variables
     - Overwrite
    as options to save the .cdsenv.
