Magnifier

robdohanyos

Hello,

I'm looking to use the magnifier as a magnifier to magnify a specific location not tied to the pointer. I'd like to anchor it using the anchor command with a view of what is under it, not what is under the pointer. Is this possible?

The use case is this. Basically i want to do something like picture in picture. i have some MPP's that are very wide and it would be nice if I could anchor the magnifier where the desired overlap is, and stretch the center line while being able to maintain visibility of that overlap region at the edge.

Thanks
Rob

    Rob,

    Note (in case I wasn't clear) - you don't have to use geNewWindow to do this - you could just open the same layout twice from the library manager - this happens any time you have multiple windows open on the same cellView (for schematic as well as layout).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
