how to turn on annotation browser assistant in layout GXL?

 Hi,

I am using Cadence Virtuoso Design Environment Version IC 6.1.5.48 which is new to me.

I have generated automated layout by using Layout GXL from the schematic. 

To see the flight lines, i clicked on Connectivity -> Show incomplete nets. then i am getting a warning message as shown below.

 *WARNING* (LX-3052): The 'Show/Hide All Incomplete Nets' command has no effect because the Annotation Browser assistant has not been initialized. Turn on the assistant and then run the command again.

 kindly help me on how to turn on annotation browser assistant.

thanks in advance.

     Hi,

     

    the Annotation Browser is one of the many new assistants you get with IC6.1 .

    They all can be found in the Window->Assistants  menu or by right mouse click 

    into  the menu bar and pick it up from the context menu.

     

    Regards,

    Marc

    You also mentioned that you were using IC6.1.5.48. If true, that means you are using a beta version from over 6 months ago; IC615 has been a production release since the end of January (2011), and so if you are using the beta release still you'd probably be in violation of any beta software license agreement.

    You should contact your account manager or Cadence Customer Support to ensure you have a valid released version.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.
