   • Click Draw, then draw the rectangular search box in the canvas.
   • Set the Origin X, Origin Y, Width, and Length fields manually, then click Update.
   
   Width spacing patterns are generated for the shapes in the search box, subject to the WSP Manager Derive Options, and are listed in the WSPs group box, grouped by layer.
   
   
   If a generated WSP matches an existing WSP in the current design or technology, it is identified in the WSPs group box as follows:
   
   
2. (Optional) Double-click a WSP name in the WSPs list to edit the name.

   • Click a WSP.
   • Click and drag over the WSP names, or click the first WSP, then Shift+click the last WSP to select consecutive WSPs.
   • Click the first row, then Control+click the other rows to select non-consecutive WSPs.
   • Press Control+a to select all the WSPs.
     
     To prevent the creation of duplicate WSPs, exclude the generated WSPs that are labeled as Identical with an existing WSP.
