how do I turn off short markers

A new "feature" of xl is dynamically created short markers. These happen whenever you move a line and xl thinks there might be a tiny chance that a short may be created such as a metal5 going over a metal2 line.

It's obvious what I think of this new feature. It would be great if it actually worked but since it doesn't

How do I turn off the markers? Note that these are NOT the object markers whose visibility is sometimes controlled by the layer palette or LSW.

That sounds very odd - you shouldn't get short markers unless there is actually a short. It doesn't put them in for potential shorts. Which version are you using? You didn't say...

Hi Andrew,
Yes, very odd. I'm on release 1.6.5 ISR13.
I checked the DRD edit settings and everything is off. Markers show up while I'm editting and then disappear after I've completed the command.
I was hoping there was an environment setting somewhere that I could get to to disable them.
tks,

Please contact customer support so we can figure out why this is happening to you - sounds very odd from the symptoms you've described.
