parameter sweep with extracted view

I'm sure I have managed to do this in the past where I used the "Variables and Parameters" pane in ADEXL to alter a value of a component in an extracted view  like a resistor say and sweep this value without going round the layout loop. If a montecarlo is being performed and you have saved a statistical corner which gave a bad result then you may want to sweep a component parameter in the extracted view without altering the netlist and rendering the statistical corner invalid. The "Variables and Parameters" pane is not available in the extracted view so I don't know what trick I used to do this. Anyone tried this?

    This certainly works in IC616, because there's been explicit work on supporting it. I think at some point in the past it was also there for extracted, but maybe it was removed because it didn't work properly...

    Can you try in IC616?

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
