Exiting Design Architect
Operating Procedures
From the Operating Shell
To invoke the Design Architect editors from an operating system shell, enter the
following command at a shell prompt:
$ da
No arguments are needed for invocation. A new sheet or symbol is not
automatically opened for editing or viewing, unless you specify a pathname and
appropriate switches with the invocation, or execute one of the Session > Open
popup menu items from the Design Architect Session window.
NOTE: When referencing a design object, if you provide a relative pathname that
does not begin with the dollar sign ($) character, that relative pathname will be
converted to an absolute pathname, based on the value of the environment
variable MGC_WD. You must ensure that the value of MGC_WD is set to the
correct value for your current working directory. If it is not set properly, an
incorrect pathname for the reference may be stored.
For a complete listing of switches available for the da shell command, refer to
"Shell Command Dictionary" in the Design Architect Reference Manual.
Exiting Design Architect
To exit from Design Architect, select the Close or Quit menu item from the active
Design Architect Session window border. If you have other windows open in the
Design Architect session area and if edits have been made since the last save in
these windows, a dialog box is displayed for each of these windows asking
whether you want to save the edits or discard them before closing the individual
window within the Design Architect session. When all other windows are closed,
then the Design Architect Session window is closed.
