    Hi there,

    the prop.xx file exists on 2 levels, the library level and the cell level.
    The library level prop.xx file contains library properties e.g. what is the name of the techlib that it is attached to.
    You may want to be careful to overwrite this file, when copying one library into another library.
    The cell level prop.xx files contains properties related to the cell. e.g. CDF properties.
    Again, depending on the information that is stored there, it could bring you in trouble.
    I haven't seen a crash because of that yet.

    Cheers, Britta
