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

    You should also be able to do this without SKILL.

    In your schematic, do Edit->Component Display. Pick on one of the components, and on the form select "Select Label:" to be "parameter".

    Then in the Parameter Labels section, set the "Apply to: " to be "library", and then set the row below that to "none". If that doesn't work, set the "Apply to:" to be "cell", and then set it to none. In this case, you'll need to click once on each type of component. Whether it works for the library or cell depends on how the CDF has been setup.

    The easiest way to get everything back to normal is to do a File->Refresh in the CIW and OK the CDF refresh form that appears.

    You can also turn of terminal and instance labels using the same kind of approach.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    I don't see Edit -> Component Display anywhere. Is it removed?

    Please don't post on 10 year old threads (see the Forum Guidelines).

    The old, horrible, Edit->Component Display form was replaced in IC616 with View->Annotations->Setup, which fixes most of the problems with that flow and has a lot more powerful control over the annotations.

    See Result Annotation Flow Enhancement in Virtuoso (Video) and Results Annotation flow in ADE Assembler
