In my humble opinion, if the design & xs file create a material in a location it should be visible in the xsection. It should not matter that initially nothing is drawn under the ruler.
For example, if I leave the ruler as is but use …
When working on a 2.5d script, is there a workaround to have both the script running fast and not having to close and re-open the debugger window in each iteration?
Thanks,
Observation: when running 2.5d script on Windows using Klayout V0.28, it speeds the script significantly if the Macro window is closed (while the script is running)
Thanks for your comment dick_freebird.
In my company there are many designs (coming from major CAD tools vendors) and I think most of them have a bulk layer in the design, but not necessarily the same layer number in each design.
I would like to …
Hi Matthias-
How can I make the above work on 2.5d?
I tried to use it in order to get the invert of a layer but it does not seem to work.
late edit: Found a boundary layer in my layout so I'm using it, but not sure all designs/techs will have such …
Hi Matthias-
Yes you're right, no issue after closing the IDE window. This didn't happen with previous releases but now that I know about the IDE window it's not an issue.
Does IDE window has it's own object that I can use in order to close it? so…
This issue also happening on my home PC, so not just in my company.
My home PC windows version:
Edition Windows 10 Home

You probably know that but just in case - if you want to set modified lyp file autoload you need to make sure only one session on Klayout is running, change the lyp file autoload in that session, close this session and only after you re-start…

Yes, I noticed yesterday that the layers panel width gets stuck on a width that depends on the count of characters in all tab names.
In the file I use regularly there are 10 tabs and each tab name is 6-7 characters long.
But I can see t…
Hi Dick\Matthias-
I can't share my lyp as it might be confidential, but I was able to replicate the issue with a dummy lyp file.
Can you try the following:
1. Create a dummy lyp file with multiple tabs, and long tab name for each tab (each tab can…
Tried running in compatibility mode - issue still exist
I was able to get rid of the issue using the following sequence:
1. unclick the 'load layers properties file' from 'default' and every other tech' node
2. delete the layers properties entry fr…
Some more details on this issue:
1. It's happening to few members of the lab here so I don't think it's a hardware/mouse issue
2. We all use Windows10 x64 version in the lab
3. I tested Klayout in Windows7 but do not see this issue (for both x32 &am…
Hi dick_freebird-
It's stuck for both docked and floated modes.
Can you try opening two different designs in the same Klayout window but different panels and see whether it will get stuck?
Thanks,
regarding David's script above.
I think two lines can be changed as below
#p curr_x = ... # There is no way to get this using the API??** --> curr_x = lv.box.center.x**#p curr_y = ... # There is no way to get this using the API??**--> curr_y …
Hi Matthias-
One more observation regarding large power nets tracing:
I found out that if I start tracing by clicking on a gate tied eventually to huge top metal strip (sometimes this layer is called RDL re-distribution layer), Klayout will hang fo…
I tried it and it works fine. I'm sure it's going to help anyone tracing nets in heavy designs with massive power nets. I also have a guess that these heavy power nets are the cause for the memory issues related to all nets tracing (BTW, my PC has 8…
Thanks for your time and patience. I have implemented a check that does a gradual bottom->tracing and based on layer\shape statistics determine if this is a power net or regular net.
Matthias-
What are my options if i want to avoid tracing of large power nets?
I was thinking of a few options, pls let know if you think one of those is feasible:
* Limit the amount of shapes for the NetTracer: as suggested above, but current vers…
