Saving Custom Settings

When you exit the Hierarchy Editor, your settings are not automatically saved. You can save your settings with the Save Defaults form.

You can save and restore the following settings:

The height and width of the Hierarchy Editor window
The location of the Hierarchy Editor window on the screen
The filter settings
The view options to show or hide the Top Cell window, Global Bindings window, the tree view or table view, Instance Bindings table, and properties
The size of the instance table, tree structure, and message area
The columns that are displayed, including property columns
The Hierarchy Editor form values
Plug-in settings

To save your current settings,

Choose File – Save Defaults. The Save Defaults form appears.
Type the path to the directory in which you want to save the settings.
Click OK.
The information is saved in the hed.env file in the directory you specified.
The next time you start the Hierarchy Editor, it loads the hed.env file. If the hed.env file is not in a directory that is found by the Cadence search mechanism, you can load the file by starting the Hierarchy Editor with the -restore dirname command.
