Virtuoso Schematic Composer User Guide

Plotting Designs

If you do not know where your .Xdefaults file is located, you can change the background color of the schematic and layout windows by doing the following:

1. At the UNIX prompt, type

xrdb -query > xyz

This stores all the current system .Xdefaults variable settings in the filexyz.

2.In the xyz file, change or add the optionOpus.editorBackground from black to the color you desire. For example:

Opus.editorBackground: green

3. At the UNIX prompt, type

xrdb -load xyz

4. Restart your Cadence software.

Using a Plot Template File

If you want to use the same plot options for other schematics, you can store the options in a plot template file. The plot template file stores plot options in property list format. You can use a template file to plot schematics in batch mode.
