Most tools and functions now allow to explicitly
specify a format for input and output. On input,
the format is usually detected, but for some
cases, this is not possible (e.g. DEF). So you can
specify the format attached to the file name in
square brackets:
e.g. file.defok[def]
"def" is the intended suffix, "defok" is the given one.
On output, the same is possible, specifically in strmxor
and strmclip:
strmxor a.gds b.gds out.xor[oas]
Problem was pushing of the results into the cell hierarchy
somehow lead to thread stalling. Likely due to bbox invalidation
and related effects. Solution is to store the results of
the operations inside the context structure (along with the
propagation information) and push it to the layout later in
a single step.
* Log entries on the L2N object can now have net references
(by expanded name) and the nets will be highlighted
when the log entry is selected in the netlist browser
For an application see drcSimpleTests:147.
* New function ("db") in evaluate_nets
* BUGFIX: proper computation of transformations for multiple
selections of nets in netlist browser
A new PCell method cell_name/cell_name_impl that
delivers a cell name, which is used for "convert to
static cell" and as cell name in general.
Needs testing.
The fix consists of moving that options into the case-specific
options like DBU, instead of having it in the format-specific,
default writer options. So they can be specified on a per-case
basis and taken from the current layout by default.
Specifically:
* SaveLayoutOptions#gds2_libname is deprecated and replaced
by SaveLayoutOptions#libname
* -ol (buddy tools) is no longer format specific
* The GDS writer takes SaveLayoutOptions#libname, and
if empty, substitutes by the current libname. As last
resort, "LIB" is used, because LIBNAME cannot be an
empty string.
* The libname got removed from the global writer options UI
* In the "Save As" options dialog, it now is part of the global
options and initialized with the current layout's libname.
- On "via" (Key "O"), the application switches into path mode
- A selection menu pops up if multiple layers are possible starting
points below the cursor
As a side effect, "tap" will only display the layer selection menu
if there is more than one layer to be selected.
