Problem with bindkeys and fin-grid

Hi All,

I am using ICADV12. version of virtuoso since few days.

I have couple of problems.

1) I have bindkey for all layer invisible and all layer visible. But, to reflect this in layout window, I have to press Ctrl+r or f or w button.  Can anybody help me out in this. Its flustrated to press Ctrl+r or f or w keys every time after I press bindkey for all layer visible/invisible.

 2) In this version, The grid snaping is automatically taken care of . It is really helping me alot. But , the grid color is thick yellow which is hard to watch the design with grid visible. I want to change the grid color. Can it possible to change the grid color  ICADV12 version.

 Can anybody help me in the above issues.

Thanks in Advance,

bsrin.

    For the first one, I don't know what  your bindkey is doing, but presumably just adding hiRedraw() on the end would work - i.e. set it to "YourFunction() hiRedraw()". You could also use one of these:

    pteSetNoneVisible(?panel "Layers")
    pteSetAllVisible(?panel "Layers")

    which should take care of redraw if needed.

    For the second question, I'm not sure what kind of snapping you are talking about. Maybe it's track patterns or maybe it is snap patterns? If it's a track pattern, I think the layer used is controlled by the packet associated with the layerName/track layer-purpose pair in the tech file - e.g. Metal1/track. If you can find that in the display resource editor, you should be able to change it. Note I didn't test this at all, because I wasn't sure for certain what snapping you were talking about.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
