how to use ADE_L to plot waveform after command line simulation

 hi,everyone

        I am simulating a big circuit .When I  use ADE  simulating it,it would take a long time to initialisation,and then begin to simulate.But when I use comnand line to simulate ,for example use command "spectre input.scs" ,it starts  quickly.After it finished,I can use wavescan to plot waveform,but it is not convenient as in ADE using results--direct plot.

       My cadence version is IC615 MMSIM13.0

        Could anyone tell me  how to use ADE_L to plot waveform after command line simulation?

    Dear Xianweng,

     > .I want to use ADE-L--results--direct plot to plot signal because I can directly click net name of interest on the schematic 

     I believe I now understand. If you open ADE-L after running your command line simulation, have you tried selecting your simulation results (under Results->Select, then navigate to your results directory) and then using Results->Direct Plot? If the netlist directory is adjacent to your psf directory and has an amap file, I think you will be able to open the schematic from ADE-L and use the Results->DirectPlot panel to select and plot a signal of interest.
