Virtuoso Workspaces
A workspace is a layout of configurable user interface components that you can customize to assist your work in a particular application or when you perform a particular task. You can use a workspace to define the existence, size, and position of a set of associated user interface components within an application.
Toolbars and assistant panes are the two main user-interface components you can configure in your workspace. The toolbars and assistant panes you can request as part of your workspace depend on the currently active application/view type.
You can choose a particular arrangement of assistant panes, dockable workspace components that can be resized and repositioned in a session window, and toolbars available to the current application.
Cadence provides a set of workspaces to get you started. In addition, circuit designers, layout engineers, and members of your company’s CAD group can define custom workspaces that specify what assistant panes and toolbars appear, and under what circumstances .
You can find Cadence-provided .workspace files and workspace.default files in your_install_dir/share/cdssetup/dfII/workspaces/appDirs.
Each.workspace file is a binary file that contains information defining the workspace configuration. The workspace.default file in each application directory (appDir) is an ASCII text file that contains the name of the default workspace for that application.
