Hi Matthias,
I was looking into some simple code to copy the cell which is being viewed:
layout_view = Application.instance.main_window.current_view
layout = layout_view.active_cellview.layout
viewed_cell = layout_view.active_cellview.cell
viewed_cell_copy = layout.create_cell(viewed_cell.name + "_duplicate")
viewed_cell_copy.copy_instances(viewed_cell)
viewed_cell_copy.copy_shapes(viewed_cell)
This works fine but if I add a transcation for undo/redo it fails on the "copy_shapes" method (but not on the "copy_instances" method). Is that intentional?
layout_view = Application.instance.main_window.current_view
layout = layout_view.active_cellview.layout
viewed_cell = layout_view.active_cellview.cell
begin
layout_view.transaction("duplicate viewed cell")
if layout_view == nil
raise "Shape Statistics: No view selected"
end # if
viewed_cell_copy= layout.create_cell(viewed_cell.name + "_duplicate")
viewed_cell_copy.copy_instances(viewed_cell)
viewed_cell_copy.copy_shapes(viewed_cell)
ensure
layout_view.commit
end # begin
Cheers,
Tomas

Hi Matthias,
I was trying the code at the top of the post above, and I noticed that, if the viewed cell:
1) contains instances and shapes > _duplicate cell is ok, contains both instances and shapes
2) contains only instances > _duplicate cell is ok, contains the instances
3) contains only shapes> _duplicate cell is not ok, it is empty???
Same if using the "dup" method... Can you reproduce?
Cheers,
Tomas
No, of course that isn't!
That's a bug. I created a ticket for this: https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/864
As a workaround you can do it layer per layer:

Hi tomas2004/Matthias
If I want to copy a cell instance from gds file into current library, and that gds file location in NAS
such as //Nas/path/1.gds
that cellname is "frame"
in my idea , our designer always need to ....
1.open a new library.
2.copy mother frame cell from NAS.
that file is what our basic cell.
after step 2 , our designer start some of design working.
so , could you please let me know how can I do that in scribe?
