Options/Display - Shape information

Liahuro

Hi Cadence Community, 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. This is a "Shape information" check-box. When we move cursor touch any object then at the corner of current window will show all information of shape as : Layer-Shape(rectangle, polygon,..) How can I make this thing with skill code? Please help me know. Thanks, Q

    In IC61, go to Options->Dynamic Display, and turn on "Show Info Balloon". You may also want to ensure that everything is checked on the Setup tab. As you hover over instances, you'll get an info balloon appear. This is similar information to the old "Shape Information" option in Options->Display in IC5141, just implemented with a more modern UI (a transparent info balloon). There's also an icon in one of the toolbars (a light bulb) to toggle on or off the info balloon display (in IC613 and IC614).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
