Options forms default display

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by Stéfan Robert, Jun 1, 2005.

  1. Hello,

    In Cadence, the F3 key is used to display the option forms.

    In the setting I have, when I am in Virtuoso Layout, the Option forms
    appear by default when I select a command (Like "create rectangle" or
    "rotate").

    Is there a way to make Virtuoso not display the option form of a
    command by default?

    The way I use Cadence I fond this behaviour annoying and I would like
    to access the options form only when I need it by typing F3.

    Regards,

  2. Hi Stéfan,
    From the main window(CIW) select
    Options->User Preferences
    You will get a form popped up. There uncheck the button named "Options
    displayed when commands start".
    Press OK.
    and Enjoy.

    regards,
    Suresh

    Hi Stéfan,
    Alternatively, this is specified as follows in the .cdsenv

    ui showOptionForms boolean nil

    or, from a SKILL file such as .cdsinit

    envSetVal( "ui" "showOptionsForms" 'boolean nil )

    cheers,

    stéphane
