Cellview empty space

psill
psill over 13 years ago

 I have a cellview I created with XL and I can not minimize the empty space so when I view the layout it shows only the drawn objects.

What I have done to minimize or delete the empty space.

1) All layers valid, select all, deselect object to keep, delete.

2) Zoomed way out draw a rectangle then delete object.

3) Turned on all markers viewable and selectable.

Last resort to try, recreate layout.

I would prefer not to recreate the layout since I have synchronousClone and some symmetry in the layout

Is there a system layer I dont see or cant select causing the problem.

    Hi LandCruiser,

    I think your design has steiner object. A steiner is used to represent a logical object that facilitates, or is used to minimize net length of branching wires, and it is invisible.

     Try to delete the steiner at your cellview and see whether it can solve your issue or not?

    mapcar( 'dbDeleteObject geGetEditCellView()~>steiner)
