System Evaluation of Environment Variables
The system looks for the value of an environment variable as follows:
-
If no layout license is available, the system looks for the system-defined default settings in the following file:
install_dir/etc/tools/graphic/.cdsenv -
If a layout license is available, the system looks for the system-defined default settings in the following file:
install_dir/etc/tools/layout/.cdsenv -
The system loads any values in the local
.cdsenvfile in your home directory,
~/.cdsenv
The layout variables supersede any matching graphic variables. Environment variables defined in your.cdsenvsupersede any default values in the graphic or layout.cdsenv.
There is a precedence of window settings that might override environment variable settings. The settings are read in the following order: cellview properties, library properties, technology library properties, and environment variable values. Therefore, any override window properties stamped on a cellview will take precedence over a setting in the
.cdsenv file.Related Topics
