useDynamic HilightPacket

graphic useDynamicHilightPacket boolean { t | nil }

layout useDynamicHilightPacket boolean { t | nil }

Description

Creates the dynamic highlight display packet and uses it to draw dynamic highlights in the design.

The default is t for layout, nil for others.

When set to nil, the dynamic highlight is drawn with a non-configurable thin dashed outline.

When set to t, and you do not have the dynamicHilight display packet defined in the display.drf file, then the packet is created internally on the first dynamically highlighted figure. However, this packet is not saved automatically in display.drf. Therefore, if you close Virtuoso at this stage, display.drf is not modified, and next time, you open Virtuoso and then DRE, the dynamicHilight display packet will not be displayed.

However, if you open DRE, save display.drf, and then, close Virtuoso, the next time you will open Virtuoso and DRE, the dynamicHilight display packet will be present, even if environment variable is set to nil.
