Actually, it can be done with manual intervention already.
It's fairly straightforward to write some SKILL code to effectively issue the "Plot Outputs" command on a regular (wall clock) basis. Personally I think it would get pretty irritating, but the thing to do is to ask Cadence. Asking in this forum won't do it...
Users do get to influence the design of the software by contact customer support, and then enhancement requests are generated, and some of these get implemented - of course, it needs to be a balance - over complication versus ease of use versus speed...
The old marching waveforms were rubbish - you couldn't do much with the waveform window. So losing them was not a big loss (they had a big performance hit too). I can see an argument for a regular update of the waveform database if you really wanted it (obviously you'd not want it too regularly). That said, I can't see the big problem with just hitting the plot outputs button once in a while to see what changed. The main reason for observing the waveforms like this is for long simulations - you're not exactly going to be sitting in front of the waveform glued to it for 8 hours are you?
Andrew.
