Using the Electric VLSI Design System

Chapter IV: THE DISPLAY

| ## 5: Layer Visibility |

The nodes and arcs on the display are composed of more basic layers. By using the Layer Visibility... command of the Windows menu, you can control which layers are actually drawn.

A dialog is presented showing the layers in the current technology. By clicking on a layer entry, that layer's visibility is toggled (the ">" mark indicates that the layer is visible). Special buttons let you mark or unmark all of the layers. Besides setting visibility by Electric layers, you can choose different layer sets which work with external layers (i.e. GDS layers). When the command finishes, the windows are redrawn. |
