"Shape information" utility in Virtuoso 6.1

Aramsh

Hello Cadence Community!

Our team is using IC6.1 for layout, so I have my first question in this forum.

In IC5.1 there was an option to display shape information in the corner of the screen.

Actually it got activated by going Options/Dispay and checking "Shape information"

checkbox. But somehow it disappeared in IC6.1. 

Anybody knows if that option has been removed in 6.1 or moved to other place/menu?

This is a very useful thing so we would like to know usage in 6.1

Thanks!

  • Hi Aram,

    Go to Options->Dynamic Display and turn on "Show Info Balloon". Then select "VLS" in the Object Display Setting tree in the Setup tab, and hit the "All" button. OK the form. Then you'll get a transparent info balloon over the object you hover over. The Info Balloon tab can control more about how it appears.

    Essentially the Shape Information has been replaced with this more modern info balloon. In VLS XL, you can also customize what gets displayed with your own SKILL functions.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
