descend to new window

Karev11

Hi,

I have two questions about descend, wonder if anyone could kindly give some suggestions.

1. in cadence 615, to descend down a schematic, it always pops up a window asking whether to open new schematic in current window or new window or new tab. however, in 5141, there doesn't seem to be such feature, I wonder if open-in-new-window feature exists in 5141? if so, how?

2. for some reason,  when I try to descend down a schematic, the descend pop-up window hides in the back of current window, is there a way to have it automatically show in the front?   (actually, similar thing happens to calculator as well, I know in 615, after choosing plot , schematic window will be brought to the front right away, however, it doesn't happen at 5141, again, is it a feature that 5141 doesn't have, or it's a setting issue?

thanks!

  • Hi Kevin,

    IC5141 doesn't have tabs for different cell views in the same window, so your next closest option is to set an environment variable to open a new window when descending (look at CIW->Options->User Preferences for the form interface), put this in your .cdsenv:

    ui setWinTraversal boolean t

    For the window/form hiding issue, this is really something that is under the control of the window system - which one are you using?  In the past I've had good experiences with FVWM (fvwm2) and it is highly configurable.

    Hope this helps!
