"Fixed Parameter" option in "Detail - Transpose" Virtuoso results display - unexpected behavior

Hi,

I am running Virtuoso simulations and looking at the results in Detail - Transpose view. I notice there is an option "Fixed Parameter", which when unselected removes the columns related to variables that are unchanged for all simulation points. This is convenient, it makes it easy to find the variables which do change and locate data points based on those.

However, this option is not working as expected for me. Specifically, disabling "Fixed Parameter" removes columns for unchanged design variables, but it does not remove columns for unchanged *corner* variables. I am running a standard corner file for my process (and I don't want to meddle with it, because the possibility of introducing a typo would be an additional potential cause of unexpected simulation results, lengthening the debugging process), and the corner file sets about 10 variables, which generally don't change in my parameter sweep simulations. So about 10 superfluous columns appear in Detail - Transpose and I have to scroll through them to get the column I want. Is there a way of hiding these corner variable definition columns?


Thanks!
