Help not blinking layer

[camelot]

Hello,
I use Opus4.3.4, in particular the Verify/LVS probe function after an
LVS run. I set "cross probe matched" and when I select "Add
Net" in the layout view, the correspondent net is highlighted in the
schematic view. Perfect! The only problem is that the schematic net is
turned to white but it does not blink! So for me it is hard to find
that. Does someone know how can I set this marker blinking?

Thank you,
Camelot

This could be due to a couple of things. Either in the tech file the layer is
not defined as being blinking, or you don't have enough colours available
and the colourmap has filled up.

You should be able to set the UNIX environment variable:

CDS_USE_PRIVATE_CMAP

to YES (if my memory is correct - check the documentation) which should
help here - although you'll then probably end up with the whole window
changing colour as you move in and out of it.

Better still, use something more recent than 4.3.4 (which was released over 11
years ago) which supports 24 plane colours.
