Updating View Instances

You can use the Update Instances check box in the Options group box on the Copy View form to update the instances in the destination library to use only the copied views (instead of referencing the entire original library, cell, and view names). If you leave the Update Instances check box unselected, references to the From View name are unchanged. For example, all instances of …/oldLib/oldCell/symbol continue to reference the original library and remain …/oldLib/oldCell/symbol.

To update instances in the destination cell to use only the copied cellviews, do the following:

1. In the Options group box on the Copy Cell form, select the Update Instances check box.
   The drop-down list becomes active.
2. From the drop-down list, select one of the following choices:
   • Of Entire Library
   • Of New Copies Only
3. Click OK.

The Library Manager performs the specified copy operation.
