Library Management

This section discusses various features of Library Manager.

The Library Manager only lets you edit and manage OpenAccess libraries. You need to convert a CDB library to OpenAccess before you can use it with the Library Manager. Contact Cadence Customer Support to discuss how to migrate CDB data to OpenAccess.

A CDB library has a library-level prop.xx file. Such libraries are grayed-out in the Library Manager and their contents are not displayed. None of the Library Manager commands can be used on the library. For example, you cannot copy the library or delete it. Cell-level prop.xx files are also grayed out. Library Manager commands cannot be used on these files. When you copy libraries or cells, the prop.xx file is not copied. Copy commands can also fail if you have prop.xx files.

If an OpenAccess library erroneously contains a prop.xx file, you need to delete the file.
