open cell with maximize window

When I open a cell from library manager, it always was a small windown and not on top level,

is there any way to open a cell with maximize window and on top level? At least on top level ! Thanks

    Not sure what you mean by "not on top level". Maybe you mean it is not behind other windows? If so, this is probably a consequence of the focus stealing prevention behaviour setting. Which window manager are you using? (e.g. Gnome or KDE - but might be others).

    There are cdsenv settings to control window sizes. Put something like this in your ~/.cdsenv (adjust the coordinates to suit your needs):

    layout leWindowBBox string "((120 185) (1020 875))"
    schematic schWindowBBox string "((120 185) (1020 875))"
    schematic symWindowBBox string "((120 185) (1020 875))"

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Jerome,

    Not sure what went wrong there. I fixed the link in my previous post so it should work now.
