automatically restore to the initial status of LSW when open the second layout view belong with same library

You could use:
techRefreshTechFile(tfId)

Or, more specifically:
techRefreshTechFile(techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView()))

Derek,

As you say,we can use this function. Our layout engineers  had to use a bindkey for the function.

Maybe, This is  a intricacy operation for some layout engineers. They want to be automatically restored to the original state when open the second layout view as same as opening layout view of different library. 

Actually,I would like to get a default switch of tools.Otherwise, I need to create my switch for the part of engineer.That must change the code for tool. It's my last choice. 

How to  automatically open the other layout view belong with same library?

Exist  that default switch ? Or, You have a good idea.

Thanks

Do you use PDK?

If yes, you could try PDK utility from tsmc

Which version of Virtuoso are you using?

IC5141,

I'd appreciate any feedback.

You could use deRegUserTriggers to define either an appTrigger or postInstallTrigger for "maskLayout". This would trigger some code to run when you open a new layout window. In this code you could do whatever you want to the LSW.

In IC616 you'll be able to either have the palette (the new LSW) synchronized or desynchronized so that the visibility etc can be managed separately per window if you want.

In IC5141, Derek's suggestion is the best bet.

Andrew.
