Is there a way to make Cadence point to the error?

Hi All,

                I am completely new to Cadence and am just doing my second tutorial. So please forgive my ignorance. I am basically trying to make a inverter layout. I am getting error regarding

"Violated Rules. 

1 M1R1 Minimum density  of MET1 area [%] = 30

1 M2R1 Minimum density  of MET2 area [%] = 30

1 M3R1 Minimum density  of MET3 area [%] = 30 "

                     I was told I could get rid of the error by  setting "no coverage" when I run DRC. But I would like to know what the error is and how to fix it. I tried googling and searcched some forums. But couldnt find any answer. Can somebody please help?

Many Thanks,

Tony

    Hi Quek,

                        Thank you very much for the help. That is very helpful information. Is there an easy way to highlight in the layout editor which are the metal connectors which have violated the rules? Or do I have to go through each metal and see their properties?

    Thanks,

    Tony
