envSetVal "labelHeight" (IC6) from .cdsinit

stuso

 hi guys,

i can do the following in my ciw/virtuoso window:

envSetVal( "layout" "labelHeight" 'float 0.05 )

and using envGetVal it seems to have worked ok.

However when i add the same line to my .cdsinit andstart a new cadence session it does not sseem to have any effect. I'm sure my .cdsinit is being loaded as i have some print statements in there at the start and end of the .cdsinit.

Thanks

Stu

FYI: i am trying to set the default label size for pins for when i generate/update with XL

    I'm not sure why this is happening. I can see the same problem. You can get what you want by setting the variable in your .cdsenv file. That is what it is intended for. The envSetVal is to be used if you are already in Cadence, but if you want a default changed at startup, it is best to use the .cdsenv file. The syntax is simply this:

    layout labelHeight float 0.05
