plotting results does not properly work

TommasoF

Hi all,

in IC618 sometimes the plotting "append" function was actually working as "replace", then one had to restart Virtuoso to get it fixed.

now with IC23.1 it happens very often. Append dos work as replace, so in order to append the results I need to pick "new subwin"

any idea to fix it ? moving to another IC version is not a an option, nor restarting virtuoso. Generally ViVa is also buggy..hopefully one day someone will finally fix this (I am talking about bugs that appear and disappear and cannot be reproduce)

thanks

    Has a solution to this bug already been found?

    I noticed that the issue happens when changing between output interactive tabs (say Interactive.100 and Interactive.101) and then the plotting mode is reset back to Replace. So I always have to manually click on the dropdown and select Replace and then Append (needless to say it is quite annoying).

    Can one at least set a bindkey to quickly perform the replace -> append switchback?

    I tried just copying the commands from the CIW into a bindkey, but it is impossible to make it work for any ADE window as the number of the axlOutputsForm change every time, and I did not find a way to get the correct form or window or widget:

    _axlSetPlotMode(axlOutputsForm7->axlOutputsWidget7 "Append")

    BTW, I am on Virtuoso Studio IC25.1-64b.ISR1.30 where the same issue happens

    Cadence support provided me a script that "force" the results to be "appended" (instead of getting then replaced). The workaround is not that great, but at least is better then before. The Support didn't mention any fix, so I wonder whether it will be fixed anytime soon. 

    meanwhile after some months the function to plot on "newWindow" seem to work again, very odd, but it seems it's getting fixed (by itself ?)

    Can you post the script, I was trying to come up with something similar myself

     - please contact customer support about this.

    I don't think it's fully resolved yet - again, the challenge is finding out precisely what causes it to break as it is notoriously difficult to reproduce. I expect that we could also provide the workaround script (I don't recall seeing that anywhere, but I'm sure if somebody was to search for it they could find it).
