Re: resizing of schematic window when virtuoso is used on different monitors with different resolution

SL20260319720

The monitors that I have at work and home have different resolution, one is 3440x1440 and the other is 1920x1080. Depending on where I first execute virtuoso, hiGetMaxScreenCoords() will return either (3440 1440) or 1920x1080.

If virtuoso is first executed on the larger monitor, I can use hiResizeWindow to have a schematic that has a size up to 3440x1440 and this work well when I switch to the monitor with lower resolution. However, if virtuoso happened to be first executed on the monitor with lower resolution, hiResizeWindow will create a schematic that is not larger than 1920x1080 on the larger monitor even if I could manually use the mouse to resize the schematic window.

    This is a known limitation. There's an existing Cadence Change Request #2694574 requesting better support in these functions for changing desktop sizes. Please contact customer support and ask that a duplicate of this CCR is filed on your behalf - that helps drive the likelihood of it being implemented.
