Library

Specifies the library in which the new master variant view for the selected layout instances will be generated.

By default, the Library field displays the name of the current selected instance master library.

Cell

Specifies the cell in which the master variant view for the selected layout instances will be generated.

By default, the Cell field displays the name of the current selected cell.

View

Specifies the name of the new master variant view to be generated for the selected instances.

By default, the variant view name for the first variant is specified as layout_variant_1, with each new variant name automatically incrementing to layout_variant_2, and so on. You can specify any name for the new variant, instead of choosing the default name.

If the specified variant view already exists, a thumbnail image of the same is also displayed alongside the View field. In this case, a new variant is not created and saved on disk, but the layout instance is remastered.
