In schematic view, is it possible to make symbols/pins/wires invisible?

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by Brandon Hoppe, Apr 27, 2006.

  1. I'd like to create a skill function so that given a highlited net, I can
    make all other symbols/pins/wires invisible so that I can see ONLY the
    net that I have highlited.

    Anyone know a way to change the visibility of these?

    Thanks.

    They're just layers, so once you figure out exactly *which* layers
    they are, you can turn visibility on/off as you please.

    There's probably a ge* call as well, but this:

    leSetLayerVisible("wire" nil) hiReDraw()

    ....certainly makes all your wires invisible. If you're currently
    running
    a binary (like icms) that doesn't load layout contexts, you'll need
    to switch to something that does (like icfb).

    geQuerySelSet() is your friend when it comes to figuring out what
    layer is what. "wire", "pin", and "device" are a good start, though.

  3. There's also hiSetShadowMode() and hiSetShadowPercent()
