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…

I still have working rulers on Windows (0.26 DVB) and Ubuntu (0.25.8 ) Might be that some software (dependency) got updated, and broke it at your site(s)?
-
I saw this in Windows version 0.26, but it seems to be missing from Ubuntu 0.26.1 menus (see attached screen-grab)? In fact it's missing both options - no Edit>Selection>ChangeLayer, and no Edit>Layers. (Image) Or maybe the problem is th…

I'm also seeing what I think is improper "selection scope" in release 25.8. When I display full hierarchy, I find that every polygon, all the way down, seems to be selectable. I believe this is not right; objects contained in lower level …

That's fine; as I've mentioned, there's a surplus of schematics tools and all we need is one good one that writes SPICE netlists in an adequately configurable way. Just wanted to be sure there wasn't a native one I was overlooking. That said, there…

This looks like it performs the desired function, so great. A secondary question might be, does the ".intersecting" look at the text origin only, or the "plotted extent" of the label?

There may be "enough editors" but there are not enough good ones. I like the behavior of klayout better than others I've tried (and paid serious money for). Can't wait to see the LVS in action.

Hi, Matthias, I had continued this message at greater length through the klayout.de messaging system (had more questions / comments that are not for the public necessarily). There is a surplus of usable schematic tools open source but few good lay…

Hi, Matthias, I agree about the value of a free design system (curious about what sponsorship might entail). And I am continuing to look at other tools such as MAGIC (whose maintainer, in fact, recommended I keep an eye on your work as an alternati…
