Display Resource Editor: Different Colors for Schematic and Layout Axis

sgcad

Hi

In the environment I'm currently working, axes are shown for schematic, symbol, and layout views.For schematics and symbols, I'd prefer a dim gray, such that the axes are just visible but not dominant. For the layout, I'd prefer a brighter color. Is there a way to realize this? So far when I change the color of the 'axis' layer in the display resource editor, the axes in all three views get changed together:

Thanks very much for your input!

  • May a give this question a quick "bump up"? I presume it's not possible to do, would just be glad to get a confirmation to make sure. Thanks very much!

    Provided that the tech file is the same for both schematic and layout (quite likely) or they use the same packet name (even if the technologies are different), then this can't really be done. I did wonder about using hiRegCurWinTrigger to change the packet on the fly as the current window changed, but that's not going to be terribly robust, I think. I can think of several ways that this could get out of sync, so I wouldn't do that... so as far as I can tell, this can't be done.

    ThumbsupThanks for confirming! I might submit this as a feature request--from my point of view it would make sense to have separate LPPs for layout and schematic.
