Virtuoso Create Path Form Window

I'm using Virtuoso 4.4 at school and I'm having problems in viewing the
"Create Path" Window. Everytime I select the Create > Path in the
tool, the "Create Path" form window does not come up. (I am not
talking about the Properties window) Not having the "Create Path"
window prevents me from doing a multi layer path. I need to go from a
Poly path to a Metal path with a via attached to it.

Please help, I'm a noob in IC design and Virtuoso.

hum, did you try pressing the F3 key?
there is an environment option to control wether the form should display
automatically or not.
just add in your .cdsenv
ui showOptionForms boolean t

hope this helps,

Thanks Stephane! F3 worked.

I'm new to Virtuoso and Unix, I'm a squid.
