Selection of visible objects in layout

Annaliza

Hi,

I have the same question as with this thread but it was posted 5 years ago so I created a new one.

Selection of non-visible object - Custom IC Design - Cadence Technology Forums - Cadence Community

I want to know if this is already available in options form. I am using Virtuoso 6.1.7-64b version.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Regards,

  • Hi Anna,

    You're using the same version as in the previous post (thanks for following the guidelines and posting this as a new thread, by the way!), but either way the enhancement I asked for has not been implemented yet. It's not been requested by anyone else, so it might help if you contact customer support and request a duplicate of CCR 1671472 to be filed on your behalf?

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you. I will contact customer support.

    I was asking because I needed a way to easily turn ON/OFF the option.

    For the mean time, is there a way to easily change the settings from envSetVal("layout" "viaSelectionMode" 'cyclic "useCutLayers") back to envSetVal("layout" "viaSelectionMode" 'cyclic' "ignoreLayers")?

    There are times I still need to select stacked VIAs automatically even if I don't have all VIA types visible & selectable in the palette.

    Thanks a lot!

    Regards,

    Anna

    Hi Anna,

    You could create a function like this and put it in your .cdsinit:

    procedure(AnnaToggleUseCutLayers()
      envSetVal("layout" "viaSelectionMode" 'cyclic
        case(envGetVal("layout" "viaSelectionMode")
          ("ignoreLayers" "useCutLayers")
          ("useCutLayers" "ignoreLayers")
          (t "ignoreLayers")
        )
      )
    )

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "ShiftCtrl<Key>C" "AnnaToggleUseCutLayers()")

    Then shift-ctrl-C would toggle the setting. Note that there are strictly speaking 3 settings for useCutLayers, so this is assuming you only want to toggle between two of them.
