    There's no tool called "Cadence" (that's the company name), so which tool and version are you talking about? I don't know what you mean by "turn on/off cond" means. or even turning on/off vias or pins for the active layer? Please clarify exactly what it is you're asking for...

    Hello Andrew,

    1) I am using allegro SIP. 

    2) In the visibility column, you have Cond, via, pins, DRCs. each one of them is being represented as a box that you click on if you want to visually see in your design. So I mean by turn on/off is by clicking on the box. I want to make the click as a bindkey. I hope this make more sense

    OK, so you're in completely the wrong forum. I'll move it to the right place (this is not related to Custom IC Design).

    If you clicked on the link in the email notification, you'd have seen it's now in the PCB Design Forum. I might have put it in the PCB SKILL Forum, but I wasn't certain whether this needed SKILL or not - I am leaving it to those who are familiar with Allegro SIP to determine that.
