checkHalfWidthPathSeg always enforce

linbo

 Anybody got a fix for this dumb bug?

 

env variable in Virtuoso, checkHalfWidthPathSeg is always set to "enforce" regardless of actual environment setting either thru UI or by setting in CIW or .cdsenv file.

 

How can I turn this off?

  •  Hi Andrew,

    I'm on version 6.1.4.500.5 too.  Try stretching a path below it's half width.

    By "iconization and missing textual menu items" I mean all those little icons that now clutter up the real estate on my screen.  "Show incomplete nets" in layout must be accessed by clicking on the little shape--no pull down menu.  There are other items.  Yes, I know I can "customize" my workspace but the workspaces do not carry from tool to tool and are buggy and do not always load properly.  Moreover in the increasingly dense world of microelectronics, every inch of screen space is precious; stealing this space for commands most often accessed by bindkeys or pull down menu is annoying.

    A note:  Semantically the movement towards icons (as opposed to text) is viewed as advantageous to non-native language speakers and the increasing rate of illiterate population.  Some semiotics pundits think that eventually only the elite will be able to read and the rest of the population will only use icons.  There's a part of me that's just naturally offended when a company like Microsoft or Cadence adopts icons as the primary user interface.  Sorry.
