Error on creating wire in Virtuoso

 Hi,

When i'm trying to create a wire in Schematic editor of cadence Virtuoso i'm getting the following error and wire is not getting created.
I'm able to copy/move/extent the already existing wires though..

"Loading layers.cxt
* Field is "color" *
*Error* hiCreateCyclicField: value must be contained within the list of choices"

It was working fine till yesterday.

If anyone know the solution/fix for this problem, please let me know..

reagrds,

Shameel

     Shameel,

    Two things - which version are you using (what does getVersion(t) return), and can you try doing:

    tracev(_schgColorIcons color)

    and then do the Create Wire (please do this in a new virtuoso session before you've ever created a wire).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
