OK, I take that back - the font size does change - but it changes from no-way-readable, to barely-readable on a 4K. Maybe I should ask for an Old Guy Font option added to the general text size pulldown?

Nope, doesn't like a (number) argument for the .size either? (Image)

Question - if running interactive, how would the output command differ? Thinking that the "source" command up top would be implicit (present view / "panel") and so maybe the output command doesn't want to refer to that; maybe jus…

Would it be possible / practical to make the bindkeys load from a file initially, and allow reload / overwrite? I see you closed the ticket, I guess I should pull the latest version (got to go read up on how, again, I usually just take the latest s…

This is actually on my plate, and I have not much hope of getting it done on time - creating a full foundry PDK for klayout (fixed geometry transistors, and SPICE models, are in hand; DRC, extract, LVS require translation from Tanner (ca 2010) forma…

No, I'm saying that in all my video messing-around I have never managed to trigger the problem. I would expect a video related problem to maybe malform the rulers, but to have the ruler "not even try" (with no error either) would seem to …

I am presently running dual 4Ks (one internal on the laptop, one external via HDMI) and have yet to encounter the problem in all of the monitor permutations I've gone through on this Dell M4800 laptop (including 2 external 4Ks although they would do…

I'm wondering whether there is some "wall" where you can't get more plotted resolution, than your DBU times extent = max pixels? Whether that's consistent with the "failure threshold" I have no idea, but if it was....

Hi, Matthias, Thank you. The function works as you say. I guess it was another case of "muscle memory does not apply", from other tools where end-closure happens when last and first point coincide, and polygons don't "close themselve…

I haven't seen this behavior as you describe it. I have built a large layertable with many layers "unused" in a given layout. When I load the layout I get only the used layers without the assigned names. When I then "load over" t…

Not pertaining to the subject per se, but interesting to see we have a Calibre expert lurking - getting klayout to understand a "golden Caliber tape-in deck" (as many or most of today's foundries insist to pass) would be kinda Holy Grail-i…

Did you let Cadence decide which cell to import? Last I used it, you could specify the topcell or leave it to chance. Did you import the layout back to Cadence to verify that it comes back in, as streamed out? Did you set Cadence stop levels deep …

So evidently a permissions problem, but one that somehow comes on after installation? Wonder if you went through the files / directories looking for unusual permissions settings, if something more specific would reveal itself.

Thanks, Matthias, that does the trick. "Abby who?" * Froderich Frankenstein, "Young Frankenstein"

Two options are editing the klayoutrc file to point at technology "stuff", or to use the technology management to do it (and get your technology into the technology pulldown "chooser" on the banner). If you bounce back and forth …

Thanks. Looks like this is what I want, but operation is a bit tricky. From "Assistant": Erase: in this mode, the drawn shape will be subtracted from the existing shapes. This mode can be used to create notches or slits in shapes touchin…

Hi, Matthias, My primary motivation is roughly 20 years of Cadence "muscle memory" that trips me up trying to use anybody else's bindkeys. If I set them to what I instinctively do, it's all good. Secondary motivation (esp, to get a flat …

More specifically may relate to multiple 4K resolution monitors? Since Ubuntu*Nvidia won't support the 30Hz refresh rate Dell says is required for dual 4Ks, I swapped out those for a pair of 1920x1200 HP monitors. Now the pulldowns appear all the …
-
Went to edit the ~/.klayout/klayoutrc file and found that it holds the modified key bindings I had set up. There is only the one '-' definition (zoom_out) there. But the conflict happens anyway. I guess there must be some other set of definitions th…
-
I found the one line in the klayoutrc. It is a bowl of noodles for sure. Question - can this line be broken up with extension characters (end or beginning of line) to help readability without ruining function? I'd like to make it look like more of…

I'm wondering whether the user manual could be separated from the "smart guy" documents, maybe even printed to a PDF so that plain text searching might work better, or at least not be looking at things that don't apply to the average (or b…

I'm used to copy, move being just relative from:to coordinate clicks to define the translation. It seems like I'm getting a "reselect" action bundled with what I expect to be a plain coordinate entry. Seems like regular objects exhibit a …

I think there's a relation to the multiple monitors, I pulled my laptop from the docking station (where it drives two 4Ks albeit at reduced (HD) resolution) and on the laptop screen alone, the pulldowns work as expected. Now seated in the docking s…

I got the .deb to install clean, now says 0.26 version, but my ruler icon still has a "pulldown" that does nothing (likewise the shapes pulldown next to it). Ruler still works. Seems like there's something hidden / broken that's inhibitin…
-
There is another ongoing thread (without solution as yet): https://www.klayout.de/forum/discussion/1184/rulers-measure-have-stopped-working#latest Some hypotheses to check, in my final post there - for instance if you see the ruler icon highlighte…

For example I am trying to find the "cut" or "chop" command (to cut a polygon into two pieces). "Cut" turns up mostly "acute" API references, "chop" finds nothing. I thought maybe "separate"…
-
Thanks, Matthias, The aspect you did not comment on, is how a selected text will deselect on (what I expect to be) the "reference" point-click of the Move command, and "something else" selects (exchange) instead. I cannot seem t…

Hi, Matthias, This is from an Ubuntu 18.x machine running 0.25.8 version, believe from a .deb I pulled from the downloads page. On the Win7machine next to it, 0.26 version, these pulldowns are populated as you show. This installation is from the D…

I haven't seen a description of what "stop working" means. Maybe it's something dumb like the ruler color got set to the background color? Are there log files that could hold error info? My (not failing) machines are W7, 1920x1200 and Ubu…

Knowing whether a layer is empty, is certainly one thing of interest. However it would also be handy to be able to "see what it's made of", especially if one layer "hides under another" then visual inspection could become tediou…
