Locking the cds.lib File for Editing
Locking a
cds.lib file can create confusion for other Cadence applications that have not been designed to handle, or are aware of, any file modifications directly. For example, the creation, deletion or renaming of a library requires re-write access to the cds.lib, and the operation will likely fail if the cds.lib is locked by an active Library Path Editor session over a long period.
You can lock the cds.lib file that is currently open in the library path editor to prevent other users from modifying it while you are editing it.
The file is locked. The window banner indicates that it is locked. Also, the File – Save command is now available (this command is usually grayed-out when the file is not locked and you need to use File – Save As instead.)
