The Physical Button: Show Physical Mode
The Physical button, available only in electrical mode, changes
the main Xic display from electrical (schematic) mode to physical
mode. In the main menu, this places Xic into an editing mode
appropriate for physical representation. In the subwindows, the Physical button changes the view only. Editing can not be performed
in a subwindow whose mode is not that of the main window.
While in a Push (see 6.5), the symbol currently being
edited remains the current symbol, but becomes top-level (i.e., not in
a Push) in the new mode. If the original mode is returned to
without editing a different cell, the Push stack is retained.
If a new cell is edited in the new mode, through a Push or
otherwise, the original Push context is lost. This context is
also lost if the Clear function in the Cells Listing is
invoked.
The present display mode can be made immutable, with certain
side-effects, by setting the variable LockMode.
