"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!

Aram

    Aram,

    Once you've added the assistant, you can toggle all the assistants on or off by hitting the F11 key - so you can have it displayed when you want it, and get the space the rest of the time. Thought I'd mention it in case you weren't aware of that...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
