    Sampath,

    A few things. First of all, if you're talking about "ICFB" then that's not IC61X - the command in IC61X  is called "virtuoso". Secondly, the .cdsenv file needs to be in your home directory, not your working directory. By default, it doesn't read the .cdsenv from the working dir - this can be enabled however by using:

    setenv CDS_LOAD_ENV addCWD

    or:

    export CDS_LOAD_ENV=addCWD

    (first is for csh, second is for ksh/bash).

    before starting virtuoso.

    You can tell if the cdsenv has had an effect by looking at the names of the pulldown menus in the CIW. If they have an underscore beneath any of the letters (e.g. under the F in File) then it has not had an effect. If there are no underscores, the cdsenv is being honoured.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
