selecting a current in a node in post-layout simulation

Hi,

I am doing post layout is a big schematic and I want to see the current at a particular node. When I choose a layer, I can see that its voltage drops to ADE L environment. How to select the current in a node in parasitic extracted layout so that it comes in the ADE L output plotting list ??

Thanks in advance

    Thanks Andrew.
    Yes, I am selecting the instance from the extracted view. But please note that once the whole layout is extracted, the extracted view will not show instance-wise. Rather it will show only the layer-wise. I mean, in layout we can differential or pick an instance, whereas in extracted-layout, we can only differentiate or pick out only a layer. And because of this reason, I am unable to pick an instance in the extracted layout view :( Do you have or know a way to sort out this issue ?? I need to pick a current in the extracted-view of my layout, where there are layer-wise concept and not instance-wise.


    thanks
