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 the same behaviour in IC5141 and in the latest IC615 hotfix. So I don't think its version-specific.

    However, as I mentioned, once set it the .cdsinit it does actually seem to change - it's just the print statement that follows it which is reporting the wrong thing.

    Something does appear wrong here - I would suggest you file a service request and then we can look at it properly and get a CCR filed (although hopefully the problem is just cosmetic, if it really is just delaying when the change is recognized until the SKILL top level returns; i.e. the UI is waiting for a response). If it's not picking it up at all for you, then we need to investigate why it works for us and not for you - an SR would be best for that too.

    Cheers,

    Andrew.
