net probe colors in Virtuoso schematic editor
Oct 07th, 2010, 3:05pm
 
Hi

I'm using IC6.1.4 and I have the following issue when I probe nets in Virtuoso schematic editor (Create>Probe>Add net). There are just few colors which are used for probed nets (4 or 5) and they start repeating again. What I did was to go to CIW>Tools>Display Resource Manager>Edit and change the colors for layers y0 - y9 to the colors I wanted. Saved it in a display.drf file in my project directory from where I start icfb. The problem is the colors are not taken, as if that display.drf was not loaded. I still end up with the old colors. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Have the layers for probed nets changed in this version of the software?  I thought that virtuoso loads automatically the display.drf file once it is placed in the project dir; or am I wrong? How can I force it to load that specific display.drf? Thanks.

Svilen

You can load your custom drf file with
drLoadDrf( t_filename )
you may put this line in your personal .cdsinit.
