cdf lost every time I log out from cadence

[jren]

Hi

In my SKILL code (pcell.il), I include pcell (pcDefinePCell()) and CDF
(cdfCreateParam(()).(This is similar to
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.cad.cadence/browse_thread/thread/4791011ed9a6ff40/1d12829648321907).
After I load this pcell.il in CIW, everything looks fine and I can see
the CDF settings. However, every time I restarted cadence, CDF
component parameters are lost.
Can anyone help with me on this issue? Thanks!

You have to modify the base CDF parameter (supposed you are allowed to).
Do you have (among others) at top:

let( ( libId cellId cdfId )
unless( cellId = ddGetObj( LIBRARY CELL )
error( "Could not get cell %s." CELL )
)
when( cdfId = cdfGetBaseCellCDF( cellId )
cdfDeleteCDF( cdfId )
)
cdfId = cdfCreateBaseCellCDF( cellId )

???

Yes. I have these. Basic my pcell.il is as following:

pcDefinePCell(
list(ddGetObj("lib" "cell" "layout")
.......
) ;end of pcDefinePCell


;;CDF Development
let( (libId cellId cdfId (cellLib "libname") (cellName
"cellname") ;;cellLib, cellName, changed as in PcCellViewDefine
)
unless(cellId = ddGetObj(cellLib cellName)
error( "Could not get cell %s." cellName ))
when(cdfId = cdfGetBaseCellCDF(cellId)
cdfDeleteCDF(cdfId))
cdfId = cdfCreateBaseCellCDF(cellId)

cdfCreateParam(cdfId
?name "widthR2"
?prompt "widthR2"
?defValue 2.0
?type "float"
?storeDefault "yes")

cdfSaveCDF( cdfId )

);end of let

It works.
Thank you for your help!
