DFII Library Lifecycle

The DFII Library is a Cadence library used by Virtuoso tools.

The DFII Library is created in the NotReady state and passes through the lifecycle states listed below. When a library is promoted, the Enterprise Project Management application sends a message to the DesignSync server to tag the related object with the state name. You can quickly determine where a library is in the design process by looking at its tag.
