Customizing a Cadence Workspace
You must have the necessary read-write permissions in the area where you want to save a custom workspace. Typically, you do not have write permission to the Cadence installation area but you do have write permission to your local directory tree. You might also have write permission to the area where your site-specific customizations are stored.
To customize a Cadence workspace and save it:
- Select a Cadence workspace.
- Modify the Cadence workspace to your specifications.
- Save your custom workspace.
If you want all users to have access to your customized workspace, the directory to which you save it must be in the site-specific area at your location.
You can check your setup.loc file to verify that the search settings are correct for displaying your customized workspace. For example, if you want a customized workspace to appear for all users, and the name of the customized workspace is the same as a Cadence workspace, you must edit the setup.loc file so that it checks your site-specific area first. If your setup.loc file checks the Cadence installation area first, the program finds the Cadence workspace first.
If you save a customized workspace to your site-specific area using a name that matches a Cadence workspace, and you want the customized configuration to appear for all users, you must edit the setup.loc file such that it checks your site-specific area first. If your setup.loc file checks the Cadence installation area first, the program finds the Cadence workspace first.
Reverting to a Saved Workspace
To revert to the last version of the current workspace saved to disk:
-
Choose Window – Workspaces – Revert to Saved.
