CCR 1132056: Irrelevant Error while closing the cell view property form under Design Sync environment

Description: While adding a property to a DM managed cellview that does not have the data.dm property file, the cellview's data.dm file is created using the View Property Editor dialog box.

Now, if you click the Cancel button to discard these changes without adding any properties to the data.dm file, this file gets removed but the error message is displayed in CIW.

Solution: To avoid the error message, it is recommended to create the data.dm file by saving any first property using the View Property Editor dialog box.

CCR 501893: Unable to create new VerilogA view

Description: If you have Design Sync loaded as your design management tool, when you try to create a new cellview of type VerilogA with the Library Manager’s File – New – Cell View command, the view is not created.

Solution: Use one of the following workarounds:

• Create a schematic view first. Close the schematic view, then create the VerilogA view.
• Create the VerilogA view from the Virtuoso CIW’s File – New – Cellview command instead.
