Working with breakpoints

You can use breakpoints to pause simulations when they reach a specified point.

To set a breakpoint:

  1. Select View tab > Reports panel >Tool List.
  2. Select the operation that you want to pause on.
  3. Click the Breakpoint button in the Results window. A maroon dot displays in the left-hand margin. The next time you run simulation it pauses when it reaches this operation.

To remove a breakpoint:

  1. Select View tab > Reports panel >Tool List.
  2. Select the operation that has a breakpoint set on it. (It has a maroon dot in the left-hand margin.)
  3. Click the Breakpoint button in the Results window.

    The dot is removed from the margin to show that there is no longer a breakpoint on the operation.

To remove all breakpoints, click the Clear all breakpoints button.
