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.

  • Another comment about the prBoundary

    The LPP prBoundary/boundary is used for defining how the prBoundary object is displayed.

    So you can define how the colors look by using the Display Resource Editor

    This is sometimes a cause of confusion. There should never be any geometric shapes on this layer.

    Drawing a rectangle/polygon  on layer prBoundary/boundary is not the same as creating a prBoundary (create.>p+r objects).

    The lpp is only there for display/selectability reasons, (although selectability can be controlled by other means, as Andrew stated)

     One other comment.

    I have just re-tested the routing/Wire Editor features in 6.1.6 (including DRD enforce mode) and it does, indeed, seem to work fine without a prBoundary.

    This was not the case in earlier versions of the software (6.1.5)

    But anyway, I would suggest keeping the prBoundary in. It may prevent problems further down-stream.
