Violation Markers Handling

Since Pegasus Interactive is an area specific run, DRC violations populated on the layout is per run base. In other words, any violations created by the previous Pegasus Interactive run are removed before loading the latest run results on the layout.

Also, Pegasus Interactive run does not modify the layout. Initially, violations are stored in an ASCII file format. Violation generation and display is different depending on whether you use Pegasus RV or Annotation Browser. If it is Annotation Browser, OA markers are generated based on ASCII results and populated on the layout. These data are stored in a virtual memory at first, but you can choose to save violations within the cellview by clicking Save. If not, once Layout is closed, these OA markers are lost. On the contrary, Pegasus RV can populate the latest run results on demand. As long as ASCII results are accessible by Pegasus RV, you can invoke Pegasus RV on the toolbar and violation highlights are populated in the layout.
