How to open layout.oa

TOKDOME

Last time I get some example of cell in .oa format (layout.oa).How can I open this file? Is any way to import it to virtuoso ? I will be grateful for help.

    Virtuoso (and other OA applications) expect the individual database files to be part of a library. Generally they need to be in an "oaDMFileSys" structure (OA does support a different filesystem organization called turbo file system, but it's not deemed to be of production quality).

    Put another way, you'd expect to see a file called layout.oa to live within a layout cellView in a Virtuoso library. There's no "import" - you just need to have the cellView in the right place. 

    Not sure where you got this "layout.oa" file from, but it is not normal practice to only send somebody this single file - you'd normally get a containing library (or at least a containing cellView directory).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
