problem: W and L of a transistor not shown in edit-> object-> properties

When editing a transistor in schematic editor L (version 615), the width (w) and length (l) are not shown in the form so that they can not be changed. The CDF parameters shown are M gates per device, maskLayoutViewName, parasitic calculation.

 Then from CIW -> tools ->CDF->edit..., it is found that, for that transistor, in the "Display Condition" column, for width,  XfabFormIsInToolDisplay (w) and for length, XfabFormIsInToolDisplay (l). I tried to delete them but did not solve the problem.

 Xfab is the technology. 

Anyone knows the issue?

Thanks!

    @apple419 it’s important to always install all the given plugins for all the support and options. You can simply set the length width and in case of some components there also is an option of curve. I was having issues editing components and I had to reinstall the complete software from the start including all the libraries and it worked. Also, I'd like to solve an issue related to Xfab. I know it's not related to this post so I'll create a new thread.
