how can i set environmental variables in .cdsenv file

venuuuuu

 hi all,

1) i trying to set some settings in my layout. Because of this i created a .cdsenv file in my home directory and write as following

layout  pinKeepFirstName    boolean      t
layout  pinDisplayPinName    boolean      t

When i starts icfb then following warning occurs. And variables what i need are not set. Iam using the version virtuoso 5141.

 *WARNING* envSetVal: Can't set the value of variable 'pinKeepFirstName', in tool[.partition] 'layout' - it has not been registered.

 *WARNING* envSetVal: Can't set the value of variable 'pinDisplayPinName',in tool[.partition] 'layout' - it has not been registered.

why it shows this warning.

2) what is the difference between graphic environment variables & layout environment variable.

please answer me if u know it.

Thank you

venu.

  • Venu,

    I can find no record of either of those cdsenv variables, in any release. They're certainly not current in either IC5141 or IC615, and there's no mention of them in any CCR or Service Request. I even checked in some older releases in the documentation (e.g. IC446), but nothing.

    So that's why you get the warnings - these are meaningless variables as far as the tool is concerned. The closest I have found are these:

    layout keepFirstTermName boolean ni
    graphic displayPinNames boolean t
    layout displayPinNames boolean nil

    The graphic/layout bit is where there is a generic capability for all graphic editors, and then a layout variable is specifically for maskLayout views - so is more specific and will override any graphic setting.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
