Cellview Version Rules

The software copies the cellview to the specified destination according to the following guidelines:

• If you type a new library name in the Library field, the New Library form appears followed by the Technology File for New Library form.
• If you type an existing cellview name in the View field, the Confirm Overwrite form appears.
  • Click Yes to complete the copy operation by overwriting the existing cellview.
  • Click No to cancel the copy operation.
    The Destination Already Exists message prompt appears.
    Click OK and type a different destination on the Copy Cellview Version form.
• If you leave any of the fields blank in the To group box, the Missing Destination Name message prompt appears.
  To resolve the error, click OK and type the missing destination library, cell, or view name.
• If the information you type in the fields of the To group box is that same as what appears in the fields of the From group box, the Illegal Destination message prompt appears.
  To resolve the error, click OK and type a valid destination library, cell, and view name.
• If you type an invalid destination name (for example, one containing an illegal character), the Invalid Copy Version Destination Name message prompt appears.
  Examples of illegal characters include space, backslash ( \ ), slash ( / ), and punctuation marks such as period ( . ) and comma ( , ).
• If you try to copy a cellview version that is being edited by someone else, the message Is currently edit locked appears.
• If you try to copy a cellview version for which you do not have file permission, a message prompt to that effect appears.
• If you try to copy a read-only version of a cellview (or any other file), the Copy Cellview Version Failed message prompt appears.
  You cannot overwrite a read-only version of a file. To make the file writable, you must change the access permissions.
