View Menu Commands

The following !set keywords affect commands found in the View Menu.

InfoInternal
Value: boolean.
When set, the Info command in the View Menu and the Info command in the Cells Listing panel will print dimensions using internal database units (1000 per micron) rather than in microns.

PeekSleepMsec
Value: integer >= 0.
This sets the delay time in milliseconds to wait after a layer is drawn in the Peek command. The default is 400.

XSectThickness
Value: integer 100-100000.
This sets the default thickness of the layers as displayed in the Cross Section command. The thickness is an integer 100 - 100000 which represents the thickness in internal units (1000 units per micron). If not set, a value of 500 (0.5 microns) is used. If the layer description in the technology file contains a Thickness specification, that value will be used.

RulerSnapToGrid
Value: boolean.
When set, when entering the Rulers command the snap-to-grid mode will be initially set.

LockMode
Value: boolean.
This variable, when set, locks the current mode (physical or electrical). In addition, while reading any type of file, only the information for the present mode is read. All features which apply to the other mode are disabled, and no data are stored for the other mode. By not storing stubs for the electrical data, for example, more memory space is available for a large physical-only file.

As files written from this mode have only one type of data, it is possible to overwrite files that originally contained both types of data. The user should be aware of this possibility.
