Additional cadence design libraries for IC design

Cadence provides many design libraries.

 

Cadence also provides "Customizing the Library Manager"

The actual method is quoted as below:

"At first, create a dummy directory with the name you want to give your combined library (kind of a kludge, but oh well).  Then edit your cds.lib and add 2 lines:

DEFINE <combinedLibName> <pathToDummyDirectoryYouCreatedAbove>

ASSIGN <combinedLibName> COMBINE <lib1> <lib2> ...

These lines need to go after all the lib1, lib2, etc. libraries are defined.

That's it.  Now when you open the Library Manager, you'll see your combined library name with a "+" sign next to it.  If you click on the combined library name, you'll see all the cells in all the libraries combined.  If you click the "+" sign, you can still access the libraries individually as usual.
