Setting Environment Variables in the CIW

If you use any environment variable values consistently and do not want to set these values each time you use a command, you can set the variables to the value you normally use in the CIW and it will remain valid for the duration of the current session.

To set environment variables for a single session, do one of the following.

• Include envSetVal( ) in any other Cadence SKILL file you load.
• Type envSetVal( ) in the CIW.

For example, to set the Layout XL chainFolds variable, which causes Layout XL to abut the folds of newly folded devices into chains, type the following in the CIW or include it in a setup file.

envSetVal("layoutXL" "chainFolds" 'boolean t)

To determine the current value of any Layout XL environment variable, type the following in the CIW.

envGetVal("layoutXL" "chainFolds")
