how to change the prBoundary

Cymer

Hi, all:

I am learning to use the Virtuoso XL Layout Editor, and I don't know how to change the prBoundary. I can neither find the Boundary layer in the LSW nor select the prBoundary box to change its properties . So I can only set the prBoundary when I used Layout XL to generate the layout from the schematic and couldn't change it after that. Would you please tell me how to change it? It's quite a trouble for me.

 Thank you very much.

    Hi Cymer

    If you are using IC5141, you can go to "lsw:Edit->Set Valid Layers" and set (prBoundary, drawing) layer as valid. You can then edit the prBoundary layer in your layout.

    If it is IC613, you can go to object panel of lsw to make prBoundary object selectable.

    Best regards
    Quek
