Virtuoso plot cannot adjust scale

CSCNalu
CSCNalu over 6 years ago

Hi

I'm trying to plot my schematics (heirarchically ideally) and the options under the plot (Plot Options) have the scale and center plot/fit to page options grayed out.  Is there something I need to change in my cdsplotinit or something?

Thank you

Chris

    Hi Chris,

    When hierarchy is chosen, you no longer have the choice to set these fields because the scale would typically need to be different per schematic that is plotted. So when hierarchy is chosen (or levels down is chosen) it turns off the UI choice of these fields, but always does "fit to plot" and "center plot" when plotting (for my reference should this come up again, this was discussed in CCR 243156).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks - makes sense.  I was having some issues with scaling the output but it sounds like that might be on my end.
