Removing P&R boundary

Lynks

Using Virtuoso XL (IC6.1.5-64b.500.8), a P&R boundary is automatically drawn when I generate all from source. I can re-adjust this boundary by going to Create->P&R Objects->P&R Boundary to draw a new boundary. However, I'll be designing this layout by hand so I do not need it. How can I remove this boundary?

I cannot select it and delete it (it does not seem to be selectable, and I don't think I have a corresponding layer in the tech file.. i.e. if I set all layers to non-visible, I still see the boundary). I can only re-draw it using the aforementioned steps.

  • Thanks for the heads up. For this design, I won't be using the automatic place and route tools but I'll keep your comments in mind. Probably best I just set the PR boundary to non-visible. It's just that the color looks very close to one of our layers and everyone is already used to the color set so I didn't want to change the colors around unless I can change the PR boundary color? But I haven't seen an option for that in the objects palette and I assume the Display Resource Editor doesn't change such objects(?).
