Using the Navigator in Virtuoso L

mlg1

Very simple question...

When in Virtuoso L, using the navigator I can highlight a net that is open and needs to be routed. The problem is, as soon as I click in the layotu window the flight line goes away. Is there a way to keep the flight line on?

I am using Virtuoso 6.1.5

    Why are you trying to do connectivity-based routing in VLS L? Virtuoso Layout Suite XL is the connectivity-based about tool, and using the annotation browser you can have persistent flight lines. Presumably the connectivity wasn't created in VLS L, so why are you trying to edit it there?

    You can show flight lines all the time in VLS L using Options->Display->Nets - but that's very messy.

    Thanks Andrew. I'm well versed in both L and XL, the problem is the powers that be aren't keen on spending the extra $ for XL tokens so we have to play with only one license among more than one user. When I don't have the license I'm looking for a cheat around it.

    Yeah, Options, Display, Nets is unusable because of the mess it throws on your screen.

    Unsurprisingly, we don't provide any easy means for you to do this in the VLS L tier. The whole point is that VLS XL is the connectivity-based editing environment, and obviously we don't provide means for you to cheat around that.
