Saving a State

Once you have completed the setup of your Sonnet simulation environment, specified your analysis frequencies and specified which types of models you wish to create, you may wish to save all these settings for use with this or other SonnetEM views. In order to save all the settings, you select Session  Save State from the main menu in the Cadence Virtuoso Interface. The Save State dialog box appears on your display.

Loading a State

Whenever you start a session in the Cadence Virtuoso Interface, all the options in the interface revert to their default states. To restore previously supplied settings, you must use the Load State command. To load a state, you select Session  Load State from the main menu in the interface. The Load State dialog box appears on your display.

Similar to the Save State dialog box, this dialog box allows you to select a saved state and which components of that state you wish to load. You can use the Library and Cell drop lists to navigate to other states. When you click on the OK button, the property sets of the state you selected are loaded into the interface.
