Default colors, waveforms, schematic IC6.14

Kabal

Before the simulation when i start selecting which nodes to plot from schematic, the tool assigns different random colors. I do not want that at all.

Is there any way to make the tool assign just black color for waveform of every node i click? (and then later, on the plot ill myself decide which color to put for which waveform) ?

 

Also, for the schematic, default color for all wires is cyan. How can i change it? so that when i hit W, it starts drawing wire with some predetermined default color?

  • Hi Kabal,

    Let me answer the last question first - the schematic wire colour default can be set using a .cdsenv variable as below:

    schematic wireColor string "orange"

    Alternatively you can set it using SKILL, as in the following lines:

    schSetEnv("wireColor" "cyan")
    
envSetVal("schematic" "wireColor" 'string "violet")

    For the plotting question I am not sure, I think that it always cycles through the colours in a predetermined order, I had a quick look through some .cdsenv settings but could not find one to make the colour fixed. When selecting nets to be plotted, if you don't like the colour you can click on the same wire again to deselect it and again to add it back to the plot set, and this action will move on to the next colour in the sequence. There may be a better answer than this, but I don't know it yet.  Solution 11387990 allows you to control the colours used when plotting using a SKILL function CCScolorPlot(), similar to the OCEAN 'plot' function.

    Hopefully this helps a little?

    Lawrence.
