I've used "envSetVal()" in ".cdsinit" for setting my custom enviroments like following.
Code: 
envSetVal("layout" "startLevel" 'int 0)
envSetVal("layout" "stopLevel" 'int 32)

;[Set Working Grid]
envSetVal("layout" "xSnapSpacing" 'float 0.005) ; [um]
envSetVal("layout" "ySnapSpacing" 'float 0.005) ; [um]

;[Set Display Minor Grid]
envSetVal("layout" "gridSpacing" 'float 0.1) ; Minor Spacing [um]

;[Set Display MajorGrid]
envSetVal("layout" "gridMultiple" 'int 5) ; (=Major_Spacing/Minor_Spacing)

envSetVal("layout" "dynamicHilightOn" 'boolean nil)

But these can not be effective recently.
What causes prevent to change environment ?
 

I think it's a priority problem of .cdsinit file.I don't remember the priority sequence of .cdsinit but the first priority belongs to .cdsinit file under the project directory.Then user one then site one so on..
 

Thanks for answering.

This is ".cdsint" in working directory.
So this setting overrides others.

And these are not effective, even if I enter them in CIW.
 

They are working for me in CIW terminal.
I'm using 6.17.702
 

Try to use leSetEnv() function as follows:
Code: 
leSetEnv( "startLevel" 0)
leSetEnv( "stopLevel" 32)

;[Set Working Grid]
leSetEnv( "xSnapSpacing" 0.005) ; [um]
leSetEnv( "ySnapSpacing" 0.005) ; [um]

;[Set Display Minor Grid]
leSetEnv( "gridSpacing" 0.1) ; Minor Spacing [um]

;[Set Display MajorGrid]
leSetEnv( "gridMultiple" 5) ; (=Major_Spacing/Minor_Spacing)

leSetEnv( "dynamicHilightOn" nil)
 

Thanks for response.

To my regret, leSetEnv() is also not effective.

envSetVal("layout", .....) can change environment valiable's value surely in my situation.

But it can not be reflected to actual operation, that is, GUI form, at all.

I suspect some setting could prevent environment valiable's value from being reflected.
