A question about setting default values of Virtuoso environment

We can set default values of Virtuoso settings in .cdsenv .
For the options already set in .cdsenv, we can modify the value.
For example, layout snap spacing value 0.005 can be modified in the
following line:
layout xSnapSpacing float 0.005
But for the values not set in .cdsenv yet, I don't know the name or
syntax of these options. How to set the default value of them?
For example, I need to set default value of Layer Map Table in the
stream out form.
Please show me an approach to find the name and syntax to define
default value of an arbitrary option.

 

Put this kind of code in your .cdsinit file

streamOutKeys = list(nil
'layerTable "<pathTo>/layer.map"
)


Where the layer map file has to look like

# layer name; layer purpose; layer no.; data type no.

There are two ways to go about this. One way is to save all the environment
variables into a file and search for what you want, another is to look in
the environment definition files in the hierarchy:

<CDShier>/tools/dfII/etc/tools/*/.cdsenv

To save all the environment variables to a file, from CIW menus select
Options->Save Defaults, select which tools (all possible, all loaded, or
specific tools by name), click "All tool variables", and specify a file name.
