 Hello Andrew,

 Is there a way to display Instance name along with cell name for layout instances in partial view?

Regards,

Kishan

    Kishan,

    Options->Display and then there's "Show Name Of" which can be set to "instance", "master", or "both". So "both" is what you want.

    Andrew.

    Hello,

    the names of drain, gate ... of my transistors disappeared and I am not able to get it back. All objects are well selected and set to visible ...

    Do you have an idea ?

    A picture would help. Perhaps in ADE you need to do Results->Annotate->Design Defaults?

    Thanks for the answer Andrew.

    The problem was that I opened the layout from the library manager. I fixed this issue by launching my layout from my schematic.

    Best regards,

    Sylvain.

    Hi Sylvain,

    I can't really see why that would matter, but at least you have a way forward.

    Andrew.
