In the "File" menu, choose
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>"Open" to close the current view and open a new layout instead
|
||
|
|
of the currently loaded one</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>"Open in Same Panel" to open a new layout in addition to the
|
||
|
|
currently loaded one</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>"Open in New Panel" to open a new layout in a new view</li>
|

</ul>
|

Either way, a file selection dialog will appear where a file can be
|
||
|
|
chosen for loading. After choosing the file and clicking "Ok", the
|
||
|
|
file is loaded.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The program will automatically determine the type of the file. Currently,
|
||
|
|
OASIS and GDS2 are supported.

Certain options can be specified for the file loader with the
|
||
|
|
reader option pages. To open the reader options dialog, choose
|
||
|
|
"Reader Options" from the "File" menu. This dialog allows specification of
|
||
|
|
certain options for all "Open" actions, for example:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Confine the reader to a certain set of layers. All other layers are not read.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Disable reading of text objects. Disable reading of text objects to reduce the memory consumption if you are interested
|
||
|
|
in pure geometrical information.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Disable reading of properties. If properties are not required, the memory consumption can be reduced by disabling
|
||
|
|
the properties.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Certain GDS specific options which mainly control the level of compatibility with other tools.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
