Is it possible to see a completely blank window when zoom out?

Hi Steven

Please go to "Options->Display" and change to a larger filter size. The default value is 6. Perhaps you can try 8 or 9.


Best regards

Yes, this works.

I have to put 3 digit number to get the way I want it.

Thanks,

Steven,

What this means is that it is not showing any shapes smaller than the filterSize. So why bother drawing it at all?

There is an enhancement CCR filed by a colleague recently, number 703739, asking for a means of turning off the red boxes. So best thing is to contact Cadence Customer Support, and request the same thing - this will increase the number of requests for the same thing and that helps up the priority.

Regards,

Andrew.

That is probably not what you want to do. The filter tells Cadence how many pixels wide the data should be before Cadence will draw it. This will speed up the drawing of a cellview by not drawing very small pieces of data when zoomed out. Next to the Filter is a Style that is either "Empty", "Outlined" or "Filled". Try changing your filter back to somthing like 6 and set this Style to Empty. Alternatively, turn off the visibility of "Instance" in the LSW. Instance visibility appears in the Object section of the LSW.

 Those red boxes might be helpful as a guide, but sometime it could be annoying when we only want to see certain layers on screen.
