Hi Priyanka, When you save a viaVariant into a design, it's only for that design. You'd have to save it to the technology library if you want to share it amongst multiple designs (you could always create your design library to reference the technology library rather than attaching it, and then you would be able to save into your own technology library - this is the ITDB mechanism). Currently the "Load Physical View" command in VLS XL doesn't support loading via variants from another design - there's CCR 1062215 asking for this, but it hasn't been implemented yet. If you want this, please contact customer support so that a duplicate request can be filed. I do have some SKILL code written by a colleague a few years back to transfer via variants from one design to another, but I'm not sure it's quite in a fit state to publish here. I am also rather doubtful that "close data" could lose the saved changes (unless you didn't actually save the cellView; note that the save icon on the create via form doesn't actually cause the cellView to be saved to disk - it just stores the viaVariant in the cellView; you must hit the save icon in the layout editor to actually save the changes). Maybe you didn't save the cellView. Regards, Andrew.
