After I imported GDSII into Virtuoso and open Layout L, I saw the layout is obcured by a bunch of huge pins' name floating in the background.How do I let those pins name not display? 

 

Thanks

    In addition to Colin's advice, you could go to the Objects part of the palette and turn off the visibility of labels. That will turn them all off without needing to know what layer they're on.

    Note these are probably not "pins", but just pieces of text which were too big in the stream file for some reason. There is an option on the Geometry tab of the StreamIn Options form (hit Show Options first, then move to the Geometry tab), called "Scale Text Height" which allows you to shrink (or enlarge) text on stream in.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
