What’s New in Virtuoso Custom Design Migrate

IC23.1 ISR2

Defining the Path of the Schematic Design Inventory File

You can now define the path of the schematic design inventory file using the designInventoryPath argument in the schematic mapping configuration file. The default value of designInventoryPath is nil. The default path of the schematic design inventory file is "./ SCHMAP_CONFIG/SchDesignInventory.il".
