How can I hide cell name of components in schematic?

How can I hide cell name of components in schematic?
I know I can do that by changing its value in Edit Object Properties however it would take ages to do that manually for all components. 
If I change in Apply To to all components then I worry that would apply the same size for all transistors and that would be really bad.

    The VIew->Hide Instance Labels don't provide that level of granularity, and some SKILL I wrote elsewhere on these forums (abToggleLabelsForPlotting) also don't.

    You could do:

    techGetLP(techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView()) list("device" "annotate"))~>visible=nil

    which will turn the visibility of all such labels off (you have to redraw after making the change). They will remain invisible for the rest of the session. You could do this in your .cdsinit by doing:

    techGetLP(techGetTechFile(ddGetObj("tsmc18")) list("device" "annotate"))~>visible=nil

    Thanks. What do you mean by redraw, redrawing all schematic? 
    Does that apply to all schematic? Is there a reset command to remove it or I should close Cadence tool and open it again?
    Actually I just want to hide it just to take picture of it and then leave it visible again.

    Redraw the schematic - typically the "F6" schematic redraws, but it's also in View->Redraw. To turn it back on again, use:

    techGetLP(techGetTechFile(ddGetObj("tsmc18")) list("device" "annotate"))~>visible=t

    No need to quit.

    Yeah, it all works well now.
