automatic highlights

Hi,

I posted a question about codes to highlight schematic nodes with thicker lines and Larry provided me codes below:

packets = foreach(mapcar lay '("y0" "y1" "y2" "y3" "y4" "y5" "y6" "y7" "y8" "y9")
  pack = drGetPacket("display" strcat(lay "_drawing"))
  setcar(cdddr(pack) "thickLine")
  apply('drSetPacket pack)
  pack)

which works perfectly.

I wonder if anyone could provide the code to set it to default so that there's no need to copy these lines of code to CIW everytime?

thanks,

  • It depends on how the colors (colours for me!) are being set. If the PDK is doing a drLoadDrf() from within the libInit.il of the technology library, this gets a bit more complicated (especially if you need to make this work in IC5141). If not, then it's just a matter of updating your display.drf with the Display Resource Editor and then putting that in your working directory (or doing a drLoadDrf("/path/to/display.drf" nil) in your .cdsinit after any other has been loaded.

    If it's being loaded by a PDK's libInit.il file, then you need to add a trigger to load your own (or run this SKILL code) after the PDK's libInit.il has been read. This can be done using the code in this post. Then do:

    procedure(myDoSomethingAfter(libName)
      printf("Override the default display.drf for %L\n" libName)
      drLoadDrf("/path/to/some/display.drf" nil)
      t
    )
    abDoSomethingAfterLibInit("gpdk090" 'myDoSomethingAfter)

    Or rather than the drLoadDrf, you could put the code above in the myDoSomethingAfter function.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
