parasitics symbol color extracted view

Stefan Bormann

 Hi,

is there a possibility to change the color of the parasitics in the extracted view ( changing the symbol view )?  Or is it all times green?

I can change the thickness and maybe the font of the symbol, but some of my users want to have more attantion on the parasitics and asking if it possible to change the color to another then green.

any suggestions?

Thanks

-Stefan

    Hi Stefan

    Yes, it is possible to do so. Please use "ciw:Tools->Display Resource Manager" to change the colour of "device drawing" packet. This is the display packet used for shapes in a symbol.

    Best regards

     Hi Quek,

    thanks for the answer.

     

    But, this is not what I want.

    I want change only the color  (and maybe the line thickness ) of a selected device (in this case pcapacitor).

    Not of all devices <- this happen to me if I change the packet you suggested.

    How can I switch to use device drawing2 e.g. for the selected device.

    One thing I found is to edit the symbol and change only the thickness (width -> wide), but this can be used only for the type path (no arc).

    Thanks

    Stefan,

    Select the shapes, and then do:

      geGetSelSet()~>purpose="drawing2"

    or use geQuerySelSet() (an older, more primitive property editor) and change the layer purpose pair using that.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Great!

    Now I have to find out, if this layer is usend by any other things, if not I can use it.

    Thanks Andrew.
