Open Layout View to spec'd configuration

jaleco

Does anyone know how to code the opening of a layout view to a specific window size and location (on the user's monitor) so the user does not have to resize each view opened from the Library Manager?

Searched for this topic but did not see a related thread.

I used to be able to configure this with Mentor Graphics apps, but do not see how to do it in Cadence....would be very nice to have.

    Thank you Lawrence,

    the commands to resize or to set the LSW in-session, from the CIW command input line work.

    And I have located the commands to size the CIW at startup using "hiResizeWindow()".

    I was hoping to use the Session file to restore the LSW window at startup, but it does not appear to work for the LSW.

    Is there some way to set the size and location of the LSW at startup or automatically when a layout view is opened - as opposed to defining a function to, or by typing the leSetLSWBBox() command directly after a layout view is open?

    Thanks!
