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 Martin,

    In addition to Marc's answer, you can switch back to the LSW by removing an environment variable in your Unix window before you start the Virtuoso tool, in the IC614 release, something like the following:

    unsetenv CDS_USE_PALETTE

    In IC615 the variable has changed, since the default in IC615 is for the Layer Palette to be on, so in IC615 if you want the LSW you would need to set the following instead of removing a variable:

    setenv CDS_PALETTE_OFF 1

    (I don't think the value matters, just that the variable exists.

    Hopefully this answers your questions?
