bypassing Virtuoso built-in viewer

vivkr

Hi All,

It is possible to adjust the editor settings so that model files and Verilog-A files are opened for editing with a user-specific editing program, e.g. vim, nedit, emacs etc. The built-in viewer that comes with Virtuoso is really rather limited in its features.

Can the same be done for viewing the netlist or the simulator output log? The best I could imagine was adding these on the model path list but keeping them disabled, but this is a rather inelegant solution, and one would need to do it by hand each time.

Regards,

Vivek

  • Please do file enh requests. There are quite a few for these already. We are working on improving the view window (it's better in IC615, for example), and with the upcoming text view capabilities, this will get better - but still it's useful to hear.

    Sometimes however changing to an external editor may destroy some of the improvements we want to make (e.g. using hypertext type links when appropriate to cross-probe), so it may be better for us to do that than offer use of a custom text editor. Still, there are cases when using a text editor would be useful, and cases where it might not. 

    File the CCR at least...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
