cdsenv variables

AurelBuche
AurelBuche over 3 years ago

Hi All,

1.

I have seen custom variables in .cdsenv editor (done by external EDA vendors to setup their plugins)

How can I do the same and create custom .cdsenv variables to configure the tools I developed?

2.

I am also wondering, is there a way to find .cdsenv variables documentation?

I find it quite tricky to guess the behavior of each variable only using its name and available values

It is also a pain to find the exact variable answering to an expected behavior...

(It only works with luck or sometimes there is an article in the online support website or a post on this forum, otherwise I am stuck)

Cheers,

Aurel

    Usually I've found that the best way to find the environment variable you want is to change your setting in Virtuoso and then filter the Cdsenv Editor menu with 'modified from default'. This will narrow down your results enough to figure out which variable you want (unless your environment is really customized a lot).
