what is prop.xx file

    From what I gathered it is a metadata binary file that is created for
    a library and/or a cell, etc. that provides additional information
    about that library or object it's created for. So in the instance of a
    prop.xx file for a library, it may contain the attached techLibName.

    I believe this file is created to hold "properties", so it is
    basically created when you create properties to a library or cell...

    The manual calls it a "property bag" file I believe, so it seems to be
    a bag that holds all the properties for an object.

    Is that about right? Corrections and additions are appreciated. Thanks.

    Yes, that's it. It holds meta-data properties for a library, cell, or cellView.
    Things like CDF are stored in the library or cell prop.xx (which is called
    data.dm in OpenAccess-enabled releases). Note the properties stored in a
    cellView's prop.xx property bag are different from properties stored within the
    cellView database itself.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
