Layout XL Environment Variables
This appendix provides information on the environment variable names, descriptions, and graphical user interface equivalents for Virtuoso® Layout Suite XL layout editor (Layout XL).
Only the environment variables documented in this chapter are supported for public use. All other Layout XL environment variables, regardless of their name or prefix, and undocumented aspects of the environment variables described below, are private and are subject to change at any time.
Inherited Environment Variable Settings
Layout XL honors many graphic and layout environment variables that are useful for basic layout editing functions. For information on these environment variables, see
Setting Environment Variables
Environment variables control the values of the Layout XL options. For a list of all the Layout XL environment variables and their values, see List of Layout XL Environment Variables.
There are three ways in which you can set environment variables:
-
To set an environment variable that is applied every time you start Layout XL, add the setting to your
.cdsenvor.cdsinitfile. For more information, see Setting Environment Variables in a .cdsenv or .cdsinit File. -
To set an environment variable that is applied for the duration of the current session, use the
envSetVal()command in the CIW. For more information, see Setting Environment Variables in the CIW. -
To set an environment variable from the layout window, use the Layout XL commands or, if appropriate, the form associated with the command you are using. For more information, see Setting Environment Variables in the Connectivity Form.
