Cursor coordinates

edited December 2011 in KLayout Development
Can you please add absolute coordinates of the cursor on main window? I mean coordinates from 0,0 of GDS data.

    Hi alf39,

    isn't that already there? The coordinates shown in the lower right corder of the main window are measured from the the coordinate origin in units of micrometer ...

    Hi, Matthias,

    I see the cursor coordinate shown in the lower right. But it is hard to relate it to the practical position of the shape. It would be great to make the cursor snapping to certain important point whose coordinate we really care, e.g. the corner point, the center of a disc. Then it would be good to add a feature to read the relative position of two points. For many cases, we have to rely on the relative coordinate to move some shape.
    BTW, I posted a similar note in layout section.

    Thank you.
