Generate Copy List

Generates a list of source and destination files for the Hierarchical, By View, and By Configuration copy modes. You do not need to generate a copy list for a Simple copy operation.

Destination Library

Displays the library to which the files are copied.

Update Instances

This section lets you choose one of the following options from the list box:

Of Entire Library

Overwrites instances of the old (library, cell, and view) name with the new name. For example, all instances of …/oldLib/oldCell/oldView are renamed to …/newLib/newCell/newView.

Of New Copies Only

Overwrites only the view references you copied from the original library. For example, only view instances of …/oldCell/oldView are renamed to …/newCell/newView.

Database Integrity

This section updates and validates technology data after the source files are copied.

Re-reference customViaDefs

Re-references customViaDefs to cellviews in the destination library.

Check existence in technology database

Validates the existence of layers, purposes, viaDefs, and siteDefs in the technology database of the destination library. Warnings, if any, are displayed in the CIW output.

Add To Category

This section specifies a new or existing category name to which to add the set of copied cells according to the filter string you type in the Cells field (by default, * to indicate all copied cells).

Select All

Selects all cellviews displayed on the Copy Wizard form.

Deselect All

Deselects all cellviews displayed on the Copy Wizard. The cell names are grayed out, and the check box to the left of the row is deselected. To select an individual row, select the check box.

Clear All

Removes all information from the Copy Wizard. You can type new information in an empty row using one of two methods:

Click in the table cell, click the down arrow, and choose from the pop-up menu.

Click in the table cell and type your information.

Check Files

Verifies that all the files (cellviews) you specify to be copied are present and have the correct permissions.
