Pointer issue in Layout design

NorNand

Hello,

It happens with me sometimes when I work with my layout design in Virtuoso that the pointer is not coming to the point where I want to point at it, instead it goes around the targeted point with some margin. To overcome this issue I used to display setting and try to reduce the snap dimension to less value but it is not recommend setting for the technology I am using and it is annoying to when using ruler.

Thanks

Regards

    Which version of the tools are you using? (Help->About in any window will tell you the subversion number - please give the entire number)

    In Options->Editor, do you have Gravity turned on?

    Hello Andrew

    I am using Cadence Virtuoso Layout Suit Version IC6.1.5 - 64bit.

    I usually turn off the Gravity option.

    Trying to guess precisely what you mean just from a description is going to be hard. I would suggest you contact customer support - then we could look at your setup via a web sharing session.

    Hello Andrew,

    Thank you for the reply, I will try to explain my problem again before I go to customer support may be it becomes clear.

    When I work in Layout, and when I try to put material or ruler at the point or edge I want, the mouse pointer is not locating it on the exact point, it force me to go up or down around my intended edge.

    Basically I go to the options then display to reduce the snap number to smaller value to reduce the amount of error... 

    Thanks

    Without seeing it I don't think I can understand what is wrong (or even if it is wrong). That's why I suggested going to customer support - that's a far better channel otherwise it could just be that your data is off grid, or numerous other things - who knows?
