The solution tries to be a bit more generic:
- four buttons are there to synchronize coordinates
- three buttons to snap p1, p2 and auto-measure from p1.
The problem was that with the floating test case, the
ambiguity resolution sometimes assigned the wrong pins
and floating pins/connected pins were swapped.
One option is to make the ambiguity resolver consider
the pin connection state when tenatively evaluating
nodes.
Another option is to put more emphasis on net names
and use them for ambiguity resolution. This has helped
here.
1.) is_floating is now only true if there is no device
and no subcircuit on a net. This means we only purge
nets if they are really floating. So far we purged
nets without pins which lead to the mismatch:
Before purge:
Layout: (net) <--> DEVICE.TERMINAL
Schematic: PIN <--> DEVICE.TERMINAL
After purge:
Layout: (null) <--> DEVICE.TERMINAL
Schematic: PIN <--> DEVICE.TERMINAL
(null does not match any net)
2.) circuit pin matching was a bit picky. Only when
one circuit did not have pins, matching was sloppy.
In real cases however, circuits may have unconnected
pins:
- top level pins without a counterpart (no label)
- subcircuits pins which are not used
We catch both cases by refining the match: if a pin
is not used, it does not need to match against
any other pin. It's reported as "matching against null"
though.
Multiple files can now be selected for "File/Import/Other Files into current".
NOTE: performance for many files may not be excellent
due to re-sorting of hierarchy and bounding box re-computation.
Rerun LVS: a button is provided which allows re-running
the LVS or netlist extraction from the netlist browser.
TODO: a generic concept for triggering the generators
"Partial LVS" is a feature where it's possible to
select a layout subcell - running LVS then will only
compare against the corresponding schematic subcell, not
the whole tree. The magic is done by "align" which will
remove the upper hierarchy part.
This implementation is pretty simplistic and
applies "M" the following way:
* R: R(final) = R/M
* L: L(final) = L/M
* C: C(final) = C*M
* M: W(final) = W*M
* D: A(final) = A*M
* Q: AE(final) = AE*M
The other parameters (specifically the other
geometry parameters) are not scaled yet.
When a "create instance" operation with a library cell
was undone the following issue could be seen: as the library
cell might create new layers in the target layout, these
needed to be undone when the operation was reverted.
But then the canvas bit planes got messed up because the
"LayoutView::set_view_ops" call was missing. Now this
happens inside the manipulation functions for deleting
and inserting layers. This should also reduce the
necessity to call LayoutView::update_content explicitly.
