Ploting schematic without showing component parameters

rickrevolta

Hello everybody

 I´m trying to plot my schematic at virtuoso schematic editor but I don not want to plot the component parameters. This is a plot for documentation purposes and it get a little confuse to see with a lot of infomation right next each transistor. How can I take off the component parameters  to plot the schematic ?

thanks

  • Hi Guys,

    Is there any way that the foreach loop Rick suggested I bind to a key and toggle with the key the visibility on and off? Is there also a way also to remove cell name labels, and the labels on the nets?

    Thx,

    David

    Not sure I quite understand the question David (and by the way, posting on the end of a 10 year old thread is not a good idea, as per the forum guidelines), but maybe this code will do what you want?
