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.

    Thank u, andrew 

    My problem solved. Initially I was using "ui" instead of "layout" (in envSetVal("layout" "weAutoDropViaForOverlaps" 'boolean t)). Actually when we have to use that "ui".
