Set Reuse Library Files in Vault Copy Design

You can set reuse library files to drive design reuse.

By default, the option “Show Children” > Library Files” in the View menu is set to ON. This setting persists in the Copy Design dialog.

To Reuse Branch Library Files

  1. Open the Copy Design dialog and ensure the “Show Children” > “Library Files” option in the View menu is selected.
  2. Select a branch in the Copy Design.
  3. Right-click on the branch row or choose Actions menu
  4. Select the “Reuse Branch Library Files” action.

Following these steps, all library files in the selected branch will be set to reuse.

To Reuse All Library Files

  1. Open the Copy Design dialog and ensure the “Show Children” > “Library Files” in the View menu is selected.
  2. Select Actions menu
  3. Select the “Reuse All Library Files” action.

After performing these steps, all library files in the main grid will be set to reuse.

Note: In the Copy Design, blank value for Action Column means the file is reused.

Always Reuse Library Files

You can configure the system to always reuse library files.

By default, this option is turned off. When it is off, the Copy action on the library file node is available, and the copy branch action will set the library files to copy, meaning the library files are not reused.

When this option is turned on, library files are reused, even if they were set to copy before enabling this option. The Copy action on the library file node becomes unavailable, and the copy branch action will not set the library files to copy.

  1. Open the Copy Design dialog
  2. Select the Options menu and select the “Always Reuse Library Files”.

After performing these steps, library files in the main grid will always be set to reuse.

Note: This option selection is cached and maintained on the local client machine.
