Hello!

Please help me to remove "changedLayer tool0" layer from the cellview forever!
This annoying layer makes me mad.
I am not sure in which stage of layout it has appeared in one of cells, guess after Diva verification tool was used once over the cellview.
I tried to clean the cell manually, then exclude this layer from valid layers. But this layer appears immediately in same places after saving the cell.

What the property of cell does make this layer returning over and over again. How can I stop this?

Thanks in advance!
 

It is indeed annoying. So much that "popular protest" got
the CAD group where I worked my last straight job, to add
a menu button in the company's add-on menu pulldowns
for "delete changed layer".

You could turn off its visibility and selectability in your
layers definition file (make a personal copy and modify
to suit). It would still be there but at least you would
not see it, to be annoyed.

But one other nuisance is that, since IC6 seems to no
longer support instance/drawing layer definition of the
selectable extents of an instance, the changedlayer may
change those selectable extents and make instance
selection "messy" (overlapping extents and you stand a
chance that what you click is not what you get).
