Options/Display - Shape information

Liahuro
Liahuro over 15 years ago
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

    Yes, the leRegUserObjectSelectionFilter() function slipped my mind for this, since I have used it for filtering as opposed to displaying shape information, but it certainly could be used for that.  Please bear in mind that the registered function will be called as a pre-filter for every shape/instance that the mouse, so you will need to be careful that the function is quick/small otherwise it may add too overhead and make the tools appear sluggish.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
