Somewhere in the Settings, there are options for what is shown in the layer window. You might also want to look at "Technologies" to make the layers config you like, "stick".
-
Oh, and other stray thought - what does "alt-click" presently do? I could go either way, alt-a or alt-click (or both).
-
Bindkey would be fine - I'm habituated to 'a' (add@point), 'shift-a' (area-drag), 'ctrl-a' (deselect@point). Still not used to there being alt- option to key bindings but that would be a fine place to start (and maybe build out some of the other no…

I have had another thought regarding the selection / selectability problem where multiple candidates exist at a location. How about generating a list of "all presently-selectable-@" and pop a checkbox-form, only in the case of multiple …

Worth asking the OP, whether they are set up with a touchpad or other input device, that recognizes "taps" / "strokes" / "gestures", one of which might be called as "right-click" by the device driver - all …

Another "how to skin it" notion - could there be a scheme where DRC markers can be wholesale put into a top-level instance (like DRC_Err) placed properly in relation to the topcell (maybe the two, are placed in a holding view independen…
-
I think the interest (which I share) was to find a "location -> list_entry" method, complementary to the "list_entry -> location" (pan-to). Because sometimes you just want to know "what's THAT?". Now here's ano…
-
Perhaps this is more a job for the DRC deck-creator, to add "switches" which enable / disable "classes" of DRC (like, I might see latchup rules enabled separately from plain polygon width / space / nest / avoid, and so on). It …

I sometimes see "unintended selection" on hover and never know why, how to not, or whether to expect. Not unique to this application. But I'd suggest that if this is a known behavior, there must be known triggers and maybe a known "h…
-
Maybe some things are "baked in" and if you want to change the recipe, you have to go all the way back to making dough?
-
Does the error browser let you pick the error and see (and/or pan-to, zoom-to) the specific error? Is there an independent "zoom to" menu or key-binding, that would accept a copy-paste coords pair from said browser window? Is there a fa…
-
Not based on any knowledge, but wonder whether a marker shape has a property associated, that points back to something? Do you see anything besides coords, if you select and "q"?
-
So far I have not been able to repeat the failure, even going back to the layout I was in and retracing steps.
-
This makes me think that a "mapping" of every menu-tree button to a Python and a Ruby code-snippet (one line maybe, for native?) would be a valuable resource. Or maybe it exists already and is not as obvious as could be.
-
It was an existing layout, adding a box object and then to stretch it. I'll see if I can replicate and catch any output.
-
I am also observing that with a 1.0u snap grid I am still getting placements of box and polygon vertices on 0.05 grid. Subsequent modifications snap -by- grid but not -to- grid. It would be preferable (to me) for vertices to obey main grid. If thi…

(Quote) I wonder if there's a way to make an instance, with a text underneath, that takes its size and value from instance properties? Yeah, more instance select-collisions. But at least full-extent-selectable. Too bad I know nothing about how (say)…
-
(Quote) If you are busy creating layout art, infix bindkeys are -much- more efficient than leaving the active window to traverse menus and then find your way back to where you wanted to be and do the additional coords-click. I'd say about 4:1 best c…
-
(Quote) Yes, the proiblem is unintentional point-selection, or too many options from one point. That is what I used to use the instance-box for in all my own layouts. It creates the "handle" just where I say, and I can ensure that there is…
-
I'll address the segments individually since it was long to begin with... Regarding the topics: (Quote) My "issues" are really with instances. Polygons, you can see what you are getting. Instances, you can select even on "white spac…
-
I do not know, but I long for a graphical PCell editor like C*dence Edge. That would be an avenue like you seek.
-
It would be great if you could make a "cheat sheet" for a quick leg up on the setup and invocation, and more of a "problems & solutions" reportage that tells what you encountered, how it manifested and how you solved it. W…
-
My understanding is that any layer would do, even one you make up yourself for no other purpose. But technologies developed with a major CAD vendor (or according to their normal practices) will probably have a "bulk" or similar "val…
-
In that reference I see a couple of things. One is that a basic dual-layer patterning -can- be done the hard way by the designer (who should then know the algorithm, and presumably might be able to script some assistive tools). Another is that fanc…
-
I don't know what this means and I'm a semiconductor "lifer" (though never below 12nm/14nm) , so maybe explain a bit more - is this just more "purpose" sub-layers, some sort of secondary layer, or just display fill codes? Just b…
-
I've never seen, but never looked for one. A lot of my work ends up on "pizza masks" where multiple dice of different content share a reticle. So I will make the reticle arrangement first. Then there aren't that many steps to fill the s…
-
I don't have any experience-based advice (actually hoping to see you "plow the road" with this kind of stuff, ending at some sort of cookbook). But I have glanced at some tutorials laying about, that seemed to offer a primer. Have you d…
-
Have you verified that your layout DBU(s) and the script's pixel scaling are in sync? That the "converted" GDS file and your working GDS have identical DBU settings?
-
PCells (I believe) display "results of an evaluation" and are not polygons - unless you flatten those instances to "freeze" their evaulation. Might want to copy the present layout to some sandbox and flatten all levels, if there…
-
Use the layer window "valid" filter - make all invalid, then make valid the one you want, then you can use "all" or "area" select. You can also decide whether you want to do this at the present level, or deeper. How t…
