Workspace Configuration

Here is a sample workspace showing the various elements of a workspace in a Virtuoso Schematic Editor XL Editing session window. A session window appears when you first open a cellview for design editing.

You can define the following properties of your window layout in a workspace:

Docked, floating, and hidden assistant panes
Docked and hidden toolbars
Positions and geometries of the assistant panes and toolbars in your window layout

You can specify only those user interface components that are available for a particular viewtype or application as part of your workspace. For example, you cannot create a workspace in the Virtuoso Layout XL that contains an assistant pane that is specific to the ADE Explorer environment.

You cannot define what banner menus appear, what icons appear on a toolbar, or the content of an assistant pane using a workspace.

You can customize a workspace to appear for a particular view type or application. For example, you can specify one combination of toolbars, assistant panes, and so on, to appear for a schematic view and a different combination for a layout view.

A workspace applies to a single session window rather than to a single UNIX process. Therefore, changing the workspace in one schematic session window does not affect other schematic session windows.
