viva env variable to control the trace name in the legend

kolep

VIVA shows the legend like this : signal_name(CONFIG/library_name/cell=cell_view).

Is there a way to show it just : signal_name(cell_view) or signal_name(cell=cell_view)?

    I assume you have a "Config" sweep variable defined? I assume you have the legend set to "above" (under Graph->Properties and then the Graph Options tab)?

    I'm not sure it's currently possible to change the default trace naming convention (I did some quick checks), but there are at least some requests for customising this. I just wanted to check that this is indeed what you are doing?

    It's probably best to contact customer support (use the Case menu to submit a support case after logging in) to follow up on this.

    yes and yes.

    you are correct. that is what exactly I am doing.

    I can manually change the trace name...but would like to automate this, if there is a way available.

    Yes, that should be possible (what I don't think is possible is to have a default naming convention that covers this). I'll write something during this afternoon.
