Category improvements in library manager – Custom IC 2025.4

That 'aha' moment

Instinctively you know when something could be done better or quicker (or cheaper). But finding the solution, that “Aha…!, light bulb or eureka” moment, can be difficult.

EDA Solutions frequently releases short videos, typically around 2 minutes, to illustrate essential functionality or recently released capabilities and concepts in the Siemens EDA Custom IC Design solutions.

We hope these will give you your “Aha…!” moment.

Discover the new Categories feature in Siemens EDA Custom IC Design!

This quick demo walks you through how the updated Library Manager introduces a more structured and intuitive way to organise your design data.

With a new four-level hierarchy—library → category → cell → view—you can navigate and filter with greater speed and clarity.

Learn how to:

  • Create and manage categories in both list and table views
  • Organise IP blocks, technology groups, and project-specific libraries
  • Use categories as filters directly in S‑Edit and L‑Edit for focused design work

Designed to simplify navigation and bring consistency to large libraries, the improved Categories system helps engineers maintain a clean, scalable and efficient workflow—without disrupting existing processes.
