Printing in cadence

Hello all,

I have something funny to ask!

I want to know if theres any display option with which we can temporarily remove the red square-like terminals of a pmos or nmos instance of a transistor in cadence schematic capture.
Actually it helps in some pretty-printing for documentation purposes !


Thanks you and looking forward for ur suggestions ! :)
 

Printing in cadence

Hello,
I suppose there are not such display options due this red square-like terminals are parts of the symbol view of transistor.
It seems that only opportunity to doing that is to temporary change symbol view.

If you have a layout license, just open any layout (for reading is sufficient). In the now available LSW window search for the "pin drawing" layer. By clicking the middle mouse button on it, you can toggle its visibility. Then do a redraw (F6) on your schematic view.

The respective entry in the CIW command line would be:
leiMouseToggleLayerVisible(<layerNumber>)
where <layerNumber> is the number of the layer you want to toggle its visibility.

If you have done this once via the LSW layer, you can find the command and the <layerNumber> in your CDS.log file. In my environment, the pin drawing <layerNumber> is 286 .

This works for schematic views. I'm not quite sure if this also works for symbol views.

Re: Printing in cadence

Thanks indeed, some good tips here..
However i could not find this appropriate layer from my lsw which would mangae this red square on transistor instance .. are u sure its called pindrawing in all processes...,... Yes, i can for example disable the annotated currents and voltages throught this lsw by refreshing schematic F6...

Added after 12 minutes:

Here is my LSW window showing only *some* of the drawing layers :)
 

Re: Printing in cadence

I am pretty sure that it will not appear on your LSW as "pindrawing", but there is a layer which contains the pindrawings="drawings of the pins".
If you don't find it than maybe it is not showed in the LSW by default, but there is such a layer.

You should scroll down in the LSWindow. The layer is called pin drawing, and I think it's a Cadence standard layer, pls. s. below:

Cadence standard pin layer color is red, but this may be different on Mars. Even the inhabitants there are said to be green ;-)
