Bookmarks and Views in Virtuoso Studio Design Environment
You can bookmark design views and return to them during the current or future sessions. You can create a bookmark of a single view or a composite bookmark of all tabs in your session window. You can restore bookmark design views and import/export bookmark files. You can designate whether your bookmarks appear only on the bookmarks menu or also on the Bookmarks toolbar. You can select bookmarks from the menu or from the Bookmarks toolbar.
You can use bookmarks with any of the following Cadence applications:
- Virtuoso Schematic Editor L/XL
- Virtuoso Layout Suite Viewer/XL/EXL
- Virtuoso ADE Explorer
- Virtuoso ADE Assembler
- Virtuoso ADE Verifier
- Virtuoso Text Editor
You can also access bookmark functionality from the CIW (File – Bookmarks). When opening a bookmark from the CIW, the design gets opened in a new session window rather than opening it as a new tab in the current session window.
The program stores bookmark information in ./.cadence/dfII/bookmarks/username.bookmarks. The program searches for global bookmark information in global.bookmarks. For more information on storage, see File Storage.
If the program encounters any files with the .bkm extension (such as the old format global bookmarks.bkm file), it converts them to the .bookmarks format.
