Since I didn't notice any "Me too" responses, I started poking deeper into this side of things. Eventually I noticed the display would come back if I changed view levels (via the eyeball icon)
It didn't seem right to have to flush the registry files every time and the only thing left I could think of was the electricPrefs.xml file as sitting between the registry and program I had been carrying it forward through many versions (I think since 2007?) and when I examined it in detail, I noticed a lot of accumulated "junk". I rebuilt this file from scratch. I copied the individualized key bindings and color/pattern changes almost line by line and tossed most everything else. This seems to have cleared up the problem - I've not been able to repeat the problem since I've done this At the moment, I'm going to conclude my electricPrefs.xml file was corrupted in some manner. I don't know enough software structure to even venture a guess as to why I had the problem with 9.01 and not 8.11 - it was the same electricPrefs file Thanks for letting me work through this in a public forum. Now I get to see if I can incorporate some annular rad-tolerant transistor structures and SiC technologies... :) Dave On Oct 25, 7:14 pm, Steven Rubin <[email protected]> wrote: > >I took the mocmos circuit I've been working on with 8.11 - a bandgap > >with cascoded PMOS and about 200k of HiPoly resistors. > >It came up in layout mode OK and I switched back and forth between > >layout and schematic with no problems. > >I then made several component value changes in SCH and when I switched > >back to LAY, the active and contacts had disappeared. > > OK, can you repeat this? > > If so, send the circuit and the component value changes that you make. > > -Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Electric VLSI Editor" group.
