Hi Matthias,
I would like to first thank your for this excellent software.

Here is a quick question, I would like to load several gds files into the same panel with Ruby,
I tried the following but it did not do want I want, I think it only loads the last one,
and the previous ones are lost, please help, Thank you!
"Open in the same panel" would do exactly what I wanted, I just don't know the ruby script for it

layout_filename = RBA::FileDialog::get_open_file_name("Title", ".", "Layout files (*.*)").to_s
mw = RBA::Application::instance.main_window
mw.load_layout(layout_filename, 0)

Best,

Niebieski

    Hi,

    thank you :-)

    The answer to the question is acually quite simple: instead of "0", just use "2" for the second parameter of load_layout. Here is the explanation:

    Thank you!

    That is it!!
    I thought it was a true/false option and tried both 0 and 1
    I did not expect it will take 2 and I missed the explanation in the documents.
    My bad :P
