Specifying New Default Values for a Virtuoso Session

To specify and save new default values from one session to the next:

1. From the Command Interpreter Window, choose Options – Save Defaults.
   The Save Defaults form appears.
   
   
2. Select an appropriate option from the Tools To Save radio buttons to specify the save method for the environments.
3. Select an appropriate option from the Variables To Save radio buttons.
   Radio buttons are not available if you selected All possible tools above.
4. (Optional) In the Save To File field, change the name and location of the environment file to save.
   The default is the .cdsenv file in your home directory (~/.cdsenv).
5. Select an appropriate option from the File Status radio buttons.
6. Click OK.

Settings are saved to the .cdsenv file and read the next time you start the software.

Some applications require you to save application-specific defaults in a file other than ~/.cdsenv. Those applications provide a command to load the defaults. For that information, see the documentation for the application.

Recalling Defaults

To load a saved default file for your design session:

• On the CIW input line, type the following command:
  

  envLoadFile("~/.cdsenv")

Environment settings from this file are loaded for this design session.
