Copy Cell from another layout.

Hi sir,
When I copy cell from another layout to current layout .
if the cell name (in layout2) same as current layout(layout1), Klayout will copy that cells and rename all of them.
Can we have a selection for the same-cell name copy mode? (I will choose if I need rename that or just overwrite that.)

    Hi @jiunnweiyeh,

    No, currently you cannot select cells for overwriting. I consider that extremely dangerous as you need to be sure both cells are identical or otherwise you will get weird results.

    When you combine layout files by script, you can load two files into the same layout and specify a "cell conflict resolution mode". This allows to skip cells that are already there. Again, it is really important that you know what you are doing then.

    Hi Matthias,
    Got it , Could you please pass a sample script to me for load 2 file into same layout and choose"cell conflict resolution mode"?
    I knew that some of information in to "Help". but the script sample only a part of them.
    It is hard for me to make/join that (and other codes) together.... :'(

    By coincidence, I just pasted some code here: https://www.klayout.de/forum/discussion/2670/basic-text-convert-to-static-cell-naming#latest
