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

     Hi guys, i should point out i had a typo in my .cdsinit testing, i was printing the same variable twice, it should have read:

        ;; TEST
        labelSizeOne=envGetVal( "layout" "labelHeight" )
        printf("label height one is:%L\n" labelSizeOne)
        ;;END TEST

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

        ;; TEST
        labelSizeTwo=envGetVal( "layout" "labelHeight" )
        printf("label height two is:%L\n" labelSizeTwo)
        ;;END TEST

     And now CDS.log shows:

    label height one is:0.2
    label height two is:0.05

    However i ave just noticed in my CDS.log that this line follows the above:

    \o loading vars from .cdsenv for tool layout

    Surely this means my changes are being overwritten by the tools .cdsenv?

    I am now questioning my undestanding of ordering sequence of .cdsinit & .cdsenv but perhaps this deserves a new topic discussion of its own.

    Thanks
