How to remove highlight after DRC check in IC Layout design

Hello,

I would like to ask about how to remove the highlights created on the layout after DRC checking in Cadence Virtuoso.

Thank you

Regards

    Which DRC tool are you talking about? PVS? Assura? Pegasus? Diva? Dracula? Calibre? Something else?

    Which tool version are you using?

    You've really not given enough information to go on here...

    Andrew.

    Hit the NV button (none visible) button on the Error Layer Window:

    You may need to redraw the layout window afterwards.

    Thank you Andrew for your answer,

    you solved the issue of the DRC,

    It looks like I have also similar issue, sometimes a white rectangular appears on parts of my design as it looks as I have pointed on the instance, but indeed I didn't, and those rectangulars still visible even if I click outside, as you can kindly see from the image below

    thanks

    I have no idea what that is. I suggest you contact customer support so that somebody could look at this together with you.

    Regards,

    Andrew
