How to clear the DRC warning highlights from my layout

Senan

Hello,

I am using Cadence Virtuoso version IC6.1.8-64b.500.6 and Assura tool for the layout verification

After the DRC run and the pointing on the warnings, the relevant area on the layout will be highlighted, for example complaining about the minimum distances and so on,

Sometimes to fix the compliance with the highlights is little disturbing, so how can I control to switch on and off the highlights

Thank you

Best Regards

    The NV button on the Error Layer Window will turn off everything. You can use the arrow keys to visit each type of error, and then each specific error within that. Strangely enough the Help "menu" item on this form takes you to the documentation describing how the ELW works. Who'd have thought it?

    Thank you Andrew,

    Actually I have tried this option many time before my post but fail to turn off the error highlights, hence I was thinking if there is different way to do
