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

    Stu,

    I see what you see - if I used envGetVal, envSetVal, envGetVal together in the code, the two envGetVal's return the same thing. However, if after the .cdsinit has loaded, I do the envGetVal, I do see it has changed.

    I tried the same thing with other float cdsenv settings, and see the same behaviour - but tried with other tool.partition values and that works fine. I'm guessing there's some trigger which is not making the update until the UI has returned - I don't know why.

    However, as I said, for me this appears to overall be working - I set it in the .cdsinit, and I can see the effect if I query in the CIW, and also when I bring up the layout window and try to create a label - it's honouring my change.

    Andrew.
