Problem Title:
How to delete a design viewpoint in Mentor 8


Problem Description:
How do I delete a default or XNF viewpoint in Mentor 8 and above?


Solution 1:

Go into the design's component directory in PLD_DMgr, and delete the
"default" or "xnf" object.  (Its icon will be a folder with the
letters "dvpt" inside.)



Solution 2:

CD into the design's component directory in Unix (make sure your MGC_WD is
unset or set to "."), then type:

   delete_object xnf

("delete_object" is a Mentor-supplied program.)

To delete a different viewpoint (for example, "default"), replace that
viewpoint's name for "xnf" as appropriate.



Solution 3:

CD into the design's component directory in Unix.  In this directory, you
will see the following files:

   xnf\ 			    (empty directory)
   xnf.Eddm_design_viewpoint.attr
   xnf.dvpt_*			    (one or more, e.g., xnf.dvpt_3)

(Substitute "default" or other viewpoint name for "xnf" when appropriate.)
The directory and all files must be deleted to get rid of the viewpoint.

   rm -r xnf xnf.Eddm_design_viewpoint.attr xnf.dvpt_*
