  • Ok, thanks. I will not pursue this nice option then. Is it a runtime check or has the option been removed at compile time?
  • Hi Matthias It's indeed stock CentOS7 no compilation involved. I use the rpm, but I unpack it and put it at a central location for all to access (on a NFS share). To double check I now installed it with the rpm, but get the same result $ sudo yum …
  • Hi Matthias I unset KLAYOUT_PATH and removed ~/.klayout. The issue remains. gcc-4.8.5-16.el7.x86_64OS=CentOS7$ python --versionPython 2.7.5$ ruby --versionruby 2.0.0p648 (2015-12-16) [x86_64-linux]qt-4.8.5-13.el7.x86_64 Thanks, Theo
  • Hi Matthias klayout -style CleanLooks works like a charm. I also installed qtconfig-qt4 and used it to force CleanLooks as default GUI style. Indeed now klayout also works without the -style option. It does make me wonder why only klayout does not …
  • Matthias found it.... The search window should contain a result field on the right side of the window. This field was minimized. To get it back you need to hover over a small bar on the right of the search window and drag it all the way to the left.…
  • Removed my ~/.klayout/klayoutrc file and it works again. Now I get a field inside the search window with the results. It's exactly as I hoped for. I send the file to Mathhias with a testcase to debug.
  • I tried: texts from cells * where shape.text_string ~ "*clk*" and nothing happened. Sometimes if I use "Current Cell and Below" I see a lot of cpu usage and a progress bar (Running Query processing) that stays there for about …
  • Small addition. The same problem with instances (or shapes). I'm not sure how any result should be displayed (a popup like a result browser perhaps?). If I negate the search (!~) I don't get any response either. So it feels like something is broken.…
  • I did not build it myself, I used the rpm. The executables from the rpm (one for CentOS6 and one for CentOS7), I installed on a different path to have it shared from an NFS server (such that not all workstations need a local install). On CentOS6 it …
  • The official reply I got from Mentor is that they have an OpenDoor program to share the API with others. https://www.mentor.com/company/partner_programs/opendoor So I guess that door is closed. Cheers, Theo
  • I have a DESIGNrev license (Calibre GDS viewer, similar to klayout) so in principle I can do without klayout. But I just like it more :-) For instance tracing a net without having to run a complete LVS is so powerful. I will ask for the API to be ab…
  • Thanks Matthias The tool only becomes better!
  • Yes I know. But if an argument is not working as the short -h tells you, you want to read the manual. That was what I experienced. I think it's just a matter of updating the website by adding a link somewhere in the menu.
  • I had the same problem. It's documented though: http://www.klayout.de/command_args.html But please tell me how you can find this link from the menu? I can't find any menu item. I would expect this to be present somewhere under Documentation. But Go…
  • All cells have the same size and rotation. I know one of the tools breaks up polygons or smashes paths to shapes and there is some cell renaming. That I expect to give a difference but nothing with an XOR. So it should work as I had expected. If I …
  • Hi Matthias Good point. I have to consider that indeed. I'm merging three top level cells. One from the P&R team, so standard cells and one from the analogue RF team. A third one is the ring of IO cells. I'm pretty sure I will get a clash and I…
  • Hi Mathias Just discovered a bug when using an entry form the MRU. I have enabled "read options" to pop-up. But when I choose a specific process from the list it is ignored. It always opens with the process that it stored in the MRU. Can …
  • Hi Matthias Thanks for your answer. May I suggest you copy and paste this to the manual as well. It would really help to understand the difference between mapping and display. Let me explain how I use Klayout and why I started using mapping. I hav…
  • Sorry to bring this up, but I see the same problem (and can reproduce it). I have created a technology and a layer mapping for a process. It does not contain mappings for unknown layers. The layout statistic report all layers present in the technolo…
  • Thanks for the pointer. That info is missing under "About Klayout". I expected a community to work on this project, it's open source after all. But after reading a lot in the forum I understood it's just Matthias.
  • It's 17 now. Using the button on the left did not work for me. I had to search klayout on facebook and like it there. That might explain the low number of likes.
