Mentor v8.6_4 manual Delete Display Instances, ∙ gateid#

Command Dictionary Delete Display Instances

Delete Display Instances

Tools Supported: DFTInsight, FastScan, and FlexTest

FastScan Scope: All modes

FlexTest Scope: Setup and Drc modes

Prerequisites: You must first invoke the optional DFTInsight application and have it displaying instances.

Usage

DELete DIsplay Instances {gate_id# instance_name}... -All

DFTInsight Menu Path:

Display > Deletions > All Selected

Description

Removes the specified objects from the display in DFTInsight.

The Delete Display Instance command removes the specified instance from the Schematic View area of the DFTInsight window. When you remove objects, DFTInsight automatically updates the schematic view window with the new display.

DFTInsight marks key instances in the schematic view. If you delete a key instance, the command removes the marked instance from the schematic view and updates the marked instances list. The list is updated so that if you add the instance later via another command, DFTInsight will not display it as marked.

Arguments

∙gate_id#

A repeatable integer that specifies the gate identifications of the gates that you want to remove from the DFTInsight display. The value of the gate_id# argument is the unique identification number that the tool automatically assigns to every gate within the design during the model flattening process.

∙instance_name

A repeatable string that specifies the names of the top-level instances within the design that you want to remove from the DFTInsight display.
