LEF.rbm does not work

edited November 2011 in General
Hi Matthias,

I downloaded new version of LEF.rbm module from your site at it doesn't work.
Opening LEF file I don't see any layers and shapes at all.

Previous version I downloaded about 2 years ago (LEF.rb) works good.
Modules comparison (tkdiff) shows that new version was created from this previous I have.
And I hoped it will be better. But...

Any ideas what can be the problem?

Best regards,

    Hi Eugene,

    I have just tried the script myself and at least with a simple testcase it works.

    The script was contributed by other users, so I am not aware of limitations or bugs. Neither am I user of that script since I rarely see any LEF files. The new version supports polygons, so it should work better than the old ones.

    Is there any error message? Is there a chance to send at least a partial LEF file where that problem can be reproduced?

    Best regards,

    Matthias

    Matthias,

    No, there are no any error messages.
    I see just cell name in Cell window.

    Here is a small LEF example that looks OK in my old LEF.rb and doesn't in new LEF.rbm:

    I use Unix 64bits version of KLayout.

    And one more issue :)

    If I use workable old version of LEF.rb (by copying it in $KLAYOUT_PATH), the latest KLayout ignores some other ruby modules (like tech_manager.rbm) and do not open GDS from command line. :(

    Looks like the problem is in layers property file loading in the latest version of KLayout comparing to 0.19.3 version. The latest version loads default layers with old LEF.rb, even if $lvlyp is defined, or do not load any with new LEF.rbm.
    Version 0.19.3 with old LEF.rb loads layers property file defined by $lvlyp variable correctly, but does not load through Load Layer property menu.

    Hi Eugene,

    I am using release 0.21.6 and 0.21.13 w/ a slightly different code and I tried it w/ your lef and it worked (distribution: Centos 5.5 64bits - Gnome - Qt-4.7.2 - Ruby 1.8).
    Except I have a strange message in 0.21.13 each time I click on 'open lef' to display the browser that
    I do not have in 0.21.6 but that does not affect the behavioural of the tool.
    And I do not have when I open a GSD file.
    Message:
    (<unknown>:31608): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_get_uri_from_local_path: assertion `g_path_is_absolute (local_full_path)' failed

    Message who disapear if I start klayout w/ a Gtk style: klayout -style=GtkStyle

    The difference between the 2 codes is I have added the purpose of the layers because I want to be able to differentiate a metal who is part of an Obstruction from another who is part of a Pin.

    Regards,
    Jo
