Working with tabs in virtuoso schematic editor (opus 6.1.5 - ADE L)

Aldo2

Hello,

I'm using opus 6.1.5. When I simulate my circuits I use to open the subcircuits in different tabs.

When I want to plot some waveforms of one of the subcircuits, I open Results->Direct Plot, on ADE L form, but the focus of virtuoso schematic editor goes to the main circuit; this is very tedious.

Is there a way to block the schematic editor on the subckt/tab I'm working on, when results are plotted from ADE L?

Thank you very much

Aldo

    Although there's a workaround provided - you can use the dbCreateXformPCell() SKILL function to create a "symbol_xform" view which can be instantiated in lieu of the normal symbol (you'll see analogLib components have this) - these have a mag parameter so that  you can scale up the symbol.

    Andrew.
