How to change line styale in Wave scan wave form

wgtkan
How do I change the default line type in the wave scan waverfom.  I am using Viva wave form Graph XL version IC6.1.5-64b.500.15. Every time I generate a plot the lines are dotted and I have to go to edit and properties to change the line style/type line to solid.

Is there any way to produce these by default?

Thanks in advance

  • Your message is a bit confusing because you're talking about wavescan (which was the waveform tool in IC5141) and ViVA (the waveform tool in IC615). Anyway, the most likely problem is that the definition of the packets used in the display.drf for the y0 to y9 drawing layers. In some PDKs these are defined to be dotted/dashed lines. ADE uses these layers to probe any outputs plotted on the schematic so that the nets are highlighted with the same colour/style as they are plotted in the waveform window. So it's ADE doing this.

    The packets will be defined in the display.drf - probably  coming from your PDK. So you may need to change the definitions in the PDK's display.drf (the technology file will define what packet name is used for each layer purpose).
