Hello all

Please help me.

After upgrading Virtuoso V23.1 -> V25.1, the metal layer of I selected will shine brightly. How can I get rid of this?

    Hi all

    I need a help.

    The metal layers or other layers are highlighted brightly when I select those in Virtuoso IC25.1(not a IC23.1)

    I want to disable this function.

    Please pleas help me.

    We're checking whether this is currently possible (I didn't yet find an env var or window property that affects this). You can (of course) turn off the transparency altogether using Options->LPP Transparency and then set Transparency Mode to Off. However, I think the transparency is generally desirable - so not sure it's worth turning off transparency just to achieve this.

    You could use:

    envSetVal("graphic" "realColorSelection" 'boolean nil)

    which will affect any new windows. Or if you want to change for just the current window:

    hiGetCurrentWindow()->realColorSelection=nil
