Removing P&R boundary

Lynks
Lynks over 11 years ago

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.

    The color is determined via the packet for the prBoundary/boundary layer-purpose pair. So if you bring up the display resource editor, search via layers (All) and search for prBoundary, you'll find prBoundary/boundary.

    Whilst the object itself is not a shape on a layer-purpose pair, the colors are picked via packets associated with layer purpose pairs - as it's really the only mechanism for associating packets.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
