    Hi Ravi & Britta,

    Actually the prop.xx file can exist at the cellview level too.
    It is a binary file and it contains the properties for that lib, cell or cellview,
    including CDF properties (at the library, cell or cellview level). If there is
    a prop.xx file at the copy destination, check first before deciding to copy
    the prop.xx too. If you do not copy the prop.xx file you may be missing
    important properties (e.g. cell CDF).

    I have not seen any reports of crashes related to prop.xx files.

    Regards,
    Lawrence.
