Display REF DES text for layout review

ron2015schmitt

I am responsible for reviewing layouts for SI/PI/EMI etc.  

It would help tremendously if I could do the following:

  1. place all REF DES text so that it is centered in the middle of each component
  2. view the bottom layer REF DES text in forward direction  (without flipping the design)

Is it possible to accomplish this?

Also, I wish I could have better quality / anti-aliased text for viewing.  Maybe Cadence can improve this at some point?

thanks

    Hi Dale,

    Yes, I like your idea.  I have the non-mirrored text working for the bottom layer.  

    I'd also like to change the layer display order so that the RD text is displayed on top of all the other layers.  I'll post my script once I get it all together.
