 Delete
All - Delete everything on the current design.
 Restore
View - Restores the last view of the active window.
 Show Layer by Name -
Show only a single layer from the current layout design. The layer to be
viewed can be selected from the list in the dialog box. It is also possible to
change the visible layer by using the cursor arrow keys to step up or down
through the layer list.
 Fast Grid Spacing -
Change grid spacing settings. You can establish settings for a snap grid
and a display grid to assist you in creating a layout. The display grid
appears on the screen as a series of vertical and horizontal lines or dots,
but does not print. You use it to ensure exact alignment of pins and
vertices as well as provide visual clues to spacing.
 Layer Properties Dialog - The Layer
Properties dialog is designed to be able to view visual properties like
transparency and contextual properties like active layer binding
information (changes with the current insertion layer). The layer
transparency slider allows users to easily see objects that are located
behind the top layers. User can also input the transparency value in text
box and on click of Apply/OK button the input value will be reflected in
the layout. Layer-binding information allows users to get a
cross-functional view inside the layout.
By using this dialog user can get a visual picture of the
layer-binding information. Only layer transparency can be changed in this
dialog and if the user wants to change anything other than transparency the
layer editor dialog can be used.
Convert Traces - Convert trace to transmission line
elements for more accurate simulation.
 Move To M0 - Move all
the selected transmission line elements to M0 Layer.
 Move To M1 - Move all the
selected transmission line elements to M1 Layer.
 Move To M2 - Move all the
selected transmission line elements to M2 layer.
 Move To Thick Metal -
Move all the selected transmission line elements to Thick Metal
layer.
 Move & Disconnect Components Breaks
the connections of the selected components to move.
 Check
Design - In the Layout view, the Check Design command
provides access to information about the characteristics of your design. In
the Layout view, the Check Design
command provides access to information about any of the following
characteristics of your design - Open Connections, Nodal Mismatches, Wires
in layout, Parameter Value Mismatches, Overlayed
Components, Shapes touch but belong to different nodes, Polygon overlaps
and Connection is not pin-to-pin.
 ADS
Desktop LVS* - Checks whether
the schematic and the layout are in synchronization or not for a design.
.(*works only on ADS2009 Update1
Onwards)
 Show Nodal Interconnect - Clicking
on a pin, wire, trace or polygon in your layout will highlight all objects
at the current level that are connected to the same logical node. Nodal
highlighting is used to highlight the interconnect metal between
components.
 Show Physical Interconnect -
clicking on a pin, trace or polygon in your layout will highlight
all objects that are physically connected to the object you selected,
throughout the hierarchy. Physical highlighting is used to highlight all
metals including those that are part of components. Physical highlighting
will follow connections through vias onto another
metal layer. Objects are physically connected when shapes on the same layer
touch or overlap and when connections to another layer are made by a via.
 Invoke
3D Viewer - Open the 3D Previewer to show the entire
layout of the current design.
Invoke 3D Viewer with selected parts - Open the 3D
Previewer to show only the selected elements in the layout of the current
design.
 Create
Reticle - Generates a simple reticle by using a step and repeat copy of a single
layout design. The user can define the number of rows and columns to be
generated as well as the row and column spacing.
