Using two separate lyp files simultaneously

blizok

Hello!

I have two separate lyp files and can only switch between them but not show the layers defined in each file together.
Is there any way to load them together or merge them into one?
I tried merging the XML, but it didn't go well..

Thank you,
Kay

They are basically XML, so you can merge them.

A plain .lyp file looks like this:

<layer-properties>
  <properties>
   ... layer 1 ...
  </properties>
...
</layer-properties>

Just copy the "properties" elements from both files and wrap them into a "layer-properties" element.

Thank you Matthias, it worked.
The other sections were the same.

I believe this is the tip of a coming iceberg, "chiplet mania" is going to demand ability to have "multi-tech meta-PDKs" if bottom-to-top design of 2.5D ICs is going to be a thing (true 3D, you're gonna need that third dimension as more than a "Z layer #").

See the big iron boys starting to "chum" with this.
