I use Cadence Virtuoso IC6.1.7-64b.500.20

If I create netelist from config view by Cadence ADE-L, "Cell_Name/spectre/config/netlist/designInfo" is created.

On the other hand, if I create netelist from schematic view by Cadence ADE-L, "Cell_Name/spectre/config/netlist/designInfo" is not created.

This "designInfo" causes reading operation of "cds.lib" in Ocean Script.

Is there any setting for disabling reading operation of "cds.lib" without deleting this "designInfo" or renaming "designInfo" ?

BTW, what is this "designInfo" used for ?

Hide (rename) cds.lib after opening Cadence ADE-L ?

Remove the reading statement of "cds.lib" in Ocean Script ?

Probably you've thought about this before.​

I know "designInfo" only from IC5.1.41 , then it was just a path to the simulator view, stated in a file named "ADE_state.info" :
Code: 
projectDir = '"~/simulation"
designInfo = '("PPS00X_erik" "adc_sim" "schematic" "spectre")
descriptionText = "None"

Seems "designInfo" now is a file. What's in it?

Right.

Code: 
infoDpl = `(nil simulator "spectre" libName "Aho_Work" cellName "Boke_top" viewName "config" cdslib "/Kasu/work/cds.lib" extractedViewPresent nil)

My OCEAN script do multiple simulation runs as loop.

If "Cell_Name/spectre/config/netlist/designInfo" exists,
it causes read operation of "cds.lib" for each run.
This causes very large logfile which is useless at all.

And OCEAN script itself is very slow due to this read operation of "cds.lib".

Currently I rename "Cell_Name/spectre/config/netlist/designInfo" to "Cell_Name/spectre/config/netlist/designInfo_aho".
Then I escape read operation of "cds.lib".

At least you found a good work around!

So you don't have to weep any more ;-)
