There is nothing in virtuoso that loads a file called ".cdsinit.local". All that happens is that virtuoso looks for a file called ".cdsinit" (in various places; the order of which can be overridden with the Cadence Search File mechanism, if you desire) and then loads the first one it finds. Often CAD groups customise the .cdsinit so that it loads other files; in your case it appears that it looks for and loads a file called ".cdsinit.local". The order in which it does that is completely determined by however that CAD team has written the SKILL code in their .cdsinit. I cannot answer this generally, because it depends on the specifics of that implementation. You should contact your own CAD team to find out how they've done it and what controls they provide (if any) for changing the order of when this customer-specific file gets loaded. Regards, Andrew.
