Setting ChipPlanner properties

You can bring the selected macro or net into view in ChipPlanner by setting the Move the display to show Selected Macro and Center display around Selected Net properties:

The first property brings the selected macro into view in the ChipPlanner window. Likewise, the second one brings the selected net into view and zooms into the selected net. By default, both properties are selected. If you do not want your viewing area to change when you select a macro or net, you can clear these check boxes.

To set ChipPlanner properties:

  1. From the View menu, choose Properties.
    Note
    : You can also right-click anywhere in the ChipPlanner window, except on a region, and choose Properties from the right-click menu.

  2. In the ChipPlanner Properties dialog box, clear one or both check boxes.

  3. Click OK.
