Cadence layout suite XL - some overlap regions get highlighted in yellow

Hi.


While drawing various layers in Cadence layout suite XL, occasionally, some regions where 2 or more layers overlap get automatically highlighted in yellow! (please see attached scrrenshot)

The significance of this highlighting is not quite comprehensible (also these aren't related to DRC errors).

Is there any way to disable this feature?

Thanks.

    Hi,

    if there is a marker, XL thinks there is something wrong. Please open the Annotation Browser Assistant and you should find the entry for the marker there with an explanation what XL has to complain about your layout. Since XL is connectivity aware, this might be a wrong connection (short).
