How does Cadence chip layout / schematics present to the user that they
have multiple "views" on to the same schematic file? Do you get a
tab-bar, or multiple windows?

I'd be interested to see how they label the windows / tabs, perhaps you
could send a screenshot (private email).

I was thinking that _IF_ multiple views on the same open schematic were
possible, we could label the tabs, "my_schematic.sch [0]",
"my_schematic.sch [1]"

In gvim, I can open a file, select "Window->Split" and get two views of
the same file. It doesn't number the views though.
