Setting the Default Workspace for an Application

To select a current workspace as the default for a particular application:

Choose Window – Workspaces – Set Default.
The Set Default Workspace form is displayed.
From the Select workspace name drop-down combo box, select the workspace you want to use as the new default.
This workspace appears for each subsequent invocation of the current application or view type.
Optionally, select the path where you want to save the default workspace specifications.
All writable locations in your CSF (Cadence Search File) gets listed.
Assuming that your home directory has been set up as a member of the CSF, the workspace gets saved to $HOME by default. However, you may want to change this to ./.cadence, or another writable CSF location, so that the default is only applied to the current design.
Click the OK button to set the new default workspace for the current application.
