Configuring The Cell List

Two modes are provided for the cell list: a tree view (the default) and a flat cell list. To switch to flat mode, check the "Flat Cell List" option in the cell panel's context menu.

In addition, three sorting modes are provided: alphabetically by name and by cell size (bounding box area), descending and ascending. The cell size is supposed to reflect the design level: library and leaf cells are usually small which macro blocks are usually large. By using cell size sorting in ascending order, the leaf cells will be shown first. To change the sorting, check the corresponding option in the "Sorting" submenu of the cell panel's context menu.
