How to increase the size of the instance name

MaximSubhash

Hi,

We have placed the devices using Virtuoso layout XL.

The devices will have names (for ex: |M1.1 or |R12 etc...)

We want to increase/ decrease the size of these texts which is included in text.

Can anyone please suggest me how we can do this.

Regards,
Subhash

    Hi Queck,

    I am using Cadence 5141 version.

    When we instantiate a device using Virtuoso XLthe device will get the corresponding name from Schematic.

    And that will lookk like : "|M12.2" or "|C1" or "|R44<7>"

    These will be displayed in text layer but we cannot select them or edit them, but if we select the property of the device these instance names will be taken from a field called "Name:"

    And we can only edit the name but we cannot change the size of that displayed text.

    Hope you get my requirement.

    Regards,
    Subhash
