How to increase the size of the instance name

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 Andrew and Quek,

    Thanks for your support.

    Yes as you mentioned we can use the dbCreateTextDisplay() but we already have the instance name in the device.

    Please check the attached file.

     |M0.1 is bigger and visible because its length is long and the |M1 is small because it length is smaller.

    I understand it might be a function linked with PDK. Just trying to explore if we can increae this itself rather than having another text on these devices.

    Hope this would give better idea.

    Regards,
    Subhash
