dx/dy question in IC6

Hi

In IC5 virtuoso layout editor, when we do "copy" or "move" a object, the dx/dy column in menu bar will show the relative distance we move the object. But in IC6, it does not show any number there.

What should I do to active the dx/dy result?

Many thanks !!

    Go to Options->Editor and you'll need to turn on "Auto set reference point". This is on by default (and always has been), so something in your environment is presumably turning it off. The cdsenv for this is:

     layout autoSetRefPoint boolean t

    Regards,

    Andrew.
