Arguments
|
-file s_fileName

Specifies the file from which to read the annotations. If you do not specify this argument, the Read Annotations form appears, where you can choose the filename.

-force

Forces the annotations in the file to be added to the design in the active window regardless of whether they are associated with the design.
If this argument is not specified and the active design is different from the annotations’ design, the Lib/cell/view mismatch form is displayed. This form indicates which design the annotations are associated with, and allows you to import the annotations to the current design, or without associating with the active design. Unassociated annotations are listed in the Annotation Browser User page for the Unassociated design.
