Waveform viewer settings

archive

Hi,

 

I was wondering how can I change the default settings in the wavefrom viewer in order the waveforms to appear with solid instead of dashed lines

 

Best Regards

    Some PDKs provide a display.drf which sets the layers y0-y9 to be dashed style.

    The solution is to use the Tools->Display Resource Manager and edit the packets used by y0 to y9 to not be dashed, and then use your personal display.drf instead of the PDK-supplied one.

    Often the PDK's load the display.drf from the PDKlibrary/libInit.il file - so you either want to change that, or do something like:

    ; force PDK to get "opened" - change the lib name to the tech lib for your PDK
    ddGetObj("gpdk090")~>techLibName
    drLoadDrf("/path/to/you/updated/display.drf" nil)

    The nil means it won't ask you to save it when you quit Virtuoso.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
