Can not select

edited December 2014 in General
Dear Reader,

On my Mac, KLayout 0.23.2 starts in editing mode by default and a .gds files can be opened. I see the full design. However I can not select any of the objects. What are I am doing wrong?

Thank you for your help,

    Hi Post,

    first of all, 0.23.2 is not the latest version - but lacking hardware to fully support the Mac platform I am depending on the Mac community to provide binaries.

    But I don't think the problem is related to that version.

    There are some configuration options which could cause that effect. You can try whether some configuration option causes the problem by renaming $HOME/.klayout to some other name and starting KLayout in editor mode explicitly (klayout -e). KLayout will start with the default configuration and that should enable selection of shapes and other objects.

    Configuration options influencing the selection behaviour are for example
    * "Select top level objects only"
    * Selection style (color, stipple, ...)
    * Selection catch distance

    If that does not work I can just guess. Maybe the you use a layer properties file which has all layer set to "invalid"? "Invalid" layers don't participate in the selection.

    Regards,

    Matthias
