Cadence Hierarchy Editor

 https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/custom-ic-design/33268/hierarchy-editor---how-to-use-library-list 

I understood from the above old discussion that "when you instantiate a module in a Verilog module, you only reference the cell and not the library - the library is "loose". The library list is used to resolve the library in those cases. Consequently, it should only affect instances inside Verilog views (or similar) where the library needs to be identified."

I have a config view created in say LibA. My corresponding Test Bench has a top level verilog module (which belongs to LibB) that instantiates multiple verilog modules which are present in both LibA and LibB. I want the HED to have the instantiated modules to point to the modules in LibB. However it doesnt happen and despite giving only LibB in the Library list it still points to LibA. Is there way to do that ? Is there a way to specify the library where each verilog module has to point to ? say for instance module1 from LibA, module2 from LibB etc....

    Sorry, I missed the original post.

    I don't know why it's failing to bind to the specific lib. You can even have an inherited lib list (this is not shown by default - you have to use the right mouse menu over the column headings) - as you've seen here I have:

    if this is not working, I suggest you contact customer support so we can look at your data.
