Annotation Browser

Annotation Browser is the native Virtuoso browser for all Virtuoso tools reporting markers. Using this browser, you can run DRC on editable and read-only cellveiw. However, browser will not be invoked like Pegasus RV after each run. You have to invoke it through Window > Assistants > Annotation Browser in the layout. Once it is invoked, Pegasus Interactive violations are populated under the DRC/DFM tab.

Similar to Pegasus RV, you can customize its setting. Once the customization is complete, you can save the customization through RMB on the Assistant > Settings > Save. By default, it is saved under $PWD/.cadence/dfII/ab/ab.init.

For more details on Annotation Browser usage and customization, refer to Virtuoso Layout Suite XL User Guide.
