LSW in cadence virtuoso

Hazo

 Hello,

I was wondering whether it's possible to dock the LSW to layout drawing panel, or not! It's quite annoying to always try to find the LSW panel when drawing layout, especially when lot's of panels are open at one screen.

Thanks,

Hazo

     Hi Hazo,

    If you are using the IC614 version (or soon the new IC615 version) you can use the Layer Palette which gives (most of) the functionality of  the LSW in a dockable/detachable "assistant".  If you are using IC614 you will see the LSW by default, but you can enable the Layer Palette using an environment variable in your Unix window before starting "virtuoso":

    setenv CDS_USE_PALETTE

    The Layer Palette will be on by default in IC615, so you only need to set a variable for IC615 if you wish to use the LSW instead of the new Layer Palette.

    If you are using IC5141 then I don't think that there is a way of doing this...

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
