This would be interesting to see fitted up to the other related boundary advice I received in this thread: https://www.klayout.de/forum/discussion/1423/boolean-operators#latest I would prefer to let the layout "declare its own size", as …

Some design systems create a pin label, but pin connectivity is taken from the pin object property list and the label is just for the user's convenience. The label is often offset from the box / polygon object and often on another layer (like "…

Thanks, Matthias, My technology does not have a "boundary" / "bulk" layer but maybe I can fake it. Am I correct that the "NOT" logic is really "ANDNOT"?
-
Specifically I have one derived layer that is not-a & not-b & not-c - how can I ANDNOT them all when there's no "positive logic" item to subtract (ANDNOT) from?
-
Looks like it's got everything that I come to the forum for, and a bit more "marketing friendly" look to it (for whatever that's worth). I am getting a lot of Firefox "invalid certificate" / "expired certificate" warni…

I know some schematic tools offer options of hierarchical or flat netlist (which would go through and evaluate all of the include-chain). Is this an option for your circuit source? I haven't found how to get the flat netlist out of simulators like …

Hi, Matthias, In our (mumblemumble) annular device PCells and extraction, we had some trouble dealing with the gate stub that projects from the core "donut". In fact we gave up on getting great accuracy and just tolerate the error for ab…
-
Thanks, Matthias, All I know is, I signed a NDA and the foundry is concerned about preserving their process IP (despite that they've bought the fab from its previous owner and the technology in question is as standard as "standard linear bipol…

I can't help you with building (for lack of clue) but are you aware that there is a ready-to-go binary distribution?
-
This looks like it should be paragraph 1, chapter 1 of the Klayout DRC Developer's Cookbook. If we had one.

I use 7zip but always choose .zip, maximum compression for universal compatibility. I see little difference between .7z and .zip filesizes so have no motivation to "be special". Then again I do not open layouts from, or try to save into, …

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…
