Cadence IC5.1.41 libInit.il

Hi,

I wanted to know is it possible to overwrite the libInit.il file, which is specified in the project area by a local version of the same??
I am actually trying to load a user defined set of "modelPath"s for the analog design environment. So i have another skill script in my local area to do that (this is loaded using .cdsinit). But the libInit.il file in the project area, that is sourced whenever i open the library manager, overwrites the "modelPath"s by loading a script in the project area.

Any suggestions how this can be done?

Any other suggestions on how to add some default set of "modelPath"s for the ADE?

Thanks

    I suspect it's because you are unnecessarily redefining some things in your "local" libInit.il which are already in the main libInit.il

    You might be better off simply doing:

    ddGetObj("yourTechLibName")~>prop
    load("yourLocalLibinit.il")

    in your .cdsinit (the top line forces the library to be accessed, and for it to load its libInit.il, and then your code will be executed). You can omit using my ".ils" file altogether - it's probably a complicated way to achieve the same end.

    If you're not able to get this to work - I think seeing your code and data will be necessary - so go to customer support for that.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
