Scribble on layout/Schematic windows -to Assist work from home.

vadagar

Hi All, 

I wan to do kind of scribbling on the layout/schematic window[Image attached] to assist the work from home options in team meetings. Zoom allow direct scribbling on any window. 

I am able to draw boxes, arrow, line and ellipse and font text using highlight . Unfortunately I am not seeing any option to scribble on the screen. Could you please suggest me how can I do same....

press S-->start scribble mode

press Alt+S -->stop scribble mode 

Regards,

Venkat

    Hi Venkat,

    I'm a bit confused. This works OK with Zoom and I don't think the application has anything to do with it. Or are you asking to actually make a change in the schematic or layout database? Or draw some transient shape within Virtuoso? It's unclear what you're asking for.

    Hi Andrew, 

    Thanks very much for your quick response.

    I gave example of ZOOM and it nothing to do with Cadence tools.

    I want to draw some transient shape within virtuoso using highlight sets.  I can create line, rectangles. 

    Regards,

    Venkat,

    There's nothing (as far as I know) which would allow you to implement this. I did wonder whether we could piggyback off the stroke infrastructure - using hiStroke() - but there's nothing to get the actual point list from the stroke. You can get the first, last or bounding box of the stroke, but not the detailed point list to construct a hi light set line.

    There's also no callback to trap simple mouse movement, so I don't think this is possible - obviously you could use enterPoints or enterLine but you'd have to keep clicking, which is not what you want.

    Andrew.
