component property display in schematic editor

apple419

Hi, candece virtuoso users:

   Is there a way to move the component property dispaly locations? For example a nmos transistor, on the scheamtic it shows its instance name, cell name, w, l, multiplier, etc. It looks like those parameter locations are fixed and can not be moved. Sometimes I wish I could move things around to better locations so that make my schematic is easier to read...

   I don't believe Cadence does not allow users do this. I think there must be a way... 

 thanks!

  • Use Edit->Select->Filter in the schematic editor and then on the form that appears you can turn on "name" and "label" (and "pin name") for Instance Objects if you want. This then allows  you to select the instance's labels etc and move them (or even delete them).

    As for the formatting. The ":" means that it is showing the default value from the CDF. The precision is probably a function of the CDF callbacks in the PDK - I would guess it's showing the same precision on the edit properties form too? It might be controlled by using:

    aelPushSignifDigits(4) 

    to reduce it, but I suspect this may only have an effect (if at all) when changing the value of the parameter. Most likely it's displaying the label with the  property value as-is.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
