Can I set preferences for the default operating point cdsParam definitions in my .cdsinit?

When I turn on annotations to view transistor operating point information via the cdsParam(n) labels, I get a default set of assignments that don't work well for me (although they likely work for other people just fine). Is there a way that I can define my preferences for MOS operating point cdsParams that isn't tied to any given cell/schematic i.e. I want my settings to be *global* preferences - ideally defined in my .cdinit e.g.

cdsParam(1)=id, cdsParam(2)=vgt, cdsParam(3)=vdsat, cdsParam(4)=gm, cdsParam(5)=rout   etc.

Thanks.

    You can either set the effective CDF in the .cdsinit for each device to change the label display information (the CDF is used to seed the annotation setup), or use the annLoadAnnotationData to load your annotation setup for each window (you can't do this in the .cdsinit because it needs a window id). So you could define a bind key to load it or use a trigger (e.g. deRegUserTriggers) to load the annotation setup when a schematic window is opened, say.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
