Re: Q: Possible to make softincluded cds.lib entries read only?

Svenn,

You might want to take a look at an application note I wrote some time
ago on dd triggers - I give an example which shows how to implement a
simple access-control-list mechanism - you could use a similar technique to
disallow edit access to certain libraries.

http://sourcelink.cadence.com/docs/files/FFF/199/triggers.html

There isn't any special builtin syntax for including a readonly library,
but you can get around it with the above.

Regards,

Andrew.
