Hello people, I'm new to this, so please bear with me
Is there any way to hide the labels in Magic?
when doing the PNR stage a lot of labels can be distracting,
in Synopsys tools I'm used to hide the cell names and keeping the boxes only, is there anything similar in Magic?
Thanks

Last week I made an update to magic which hides labels attached to a specific layer when you hide that layer.
I also made an update to open_pdks for the GF180MCU process to remove the comment text labels from the standard cells because they are really annoying (much more than just "distracting").
Note that you can also go to the layer icon bar on the right hand side of the layout window in magic and use the right and left mouse buttons to show and hide the layer, which includes the "label" icon on the top row. That is exactly equivalent to the `see labels`/`see no labels` command.
