i m using cadence 5.10.41.

in ADE, when i choose the menu "variables"-->"copy from cellview", some of the variables are updated by some previously used values, and some previously defined variables appear again (these variables are already removed from the schematic and no longer used).

could somebody tell me why some variables are covered by old datas? how to fix this problem (or where are these old datas possibly stored)?

thanks.

The values are stored in a property (I think called "designVarList") on the cell.

In the library manager, select the cellName, and do right-mouse->Properties, and you should see a property called "designVarList".

You could delete it, or do the "copy to cellView" that Alan suggested. It's a slight misnomer, because "copy to cellView" actually does a "copy to cell", but perhaps that's just me being pedantic!

Andrew.
