There are many commands in Electric that set options. These commands customize the system for your use. Here is a list of commands that set options:

These options are stored in a file called "electricoptions.elib" in your library directory (on UNIX, the file is stored in "~/.electricoptions.elib"). Deleting this file will cause your options to revert to the default state set by Electric.

There are times when you want to save options with a library. For example, a library of standard cells, designed for the Silicon Compiler, will want to store Silicon Compiler options in it so that the user of the library can have the proper options set.

To request that a set of options be saved with the current library, use the Option Saving... command of the Info menu. Select the options that you want saved.
