How to change wire's collor in Virtuso Schematic Editor

Runner

Is it possible to change individual collor for wire in Virtuoso Schematic Editor (rev. 6.1.5)? I need several types of wires to visualize voltage and analog-digital domains.

The same question about collor of shapes (e.g. lines in symbol) - is it possible to  change their collors individually?

    Select the wire(s) and do Edit->Properties->Object (often the "q" bindkey), and on the form you can set the Color and Line Style of the wire.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Sorry, didn't notice your question about symbols too - that wasn't in your original post (so I didn't spot it until I'd posted my reply).

    Anyway,  the easiest is to draw the shape in the symbol as usual, and then select it and call the old property editor geQuerySelSet() in the CIW. You can then change the layer-purpose that is used to draw that shape to another one with a different colour.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
