an error message when reading uses from a .mag file. Also modified
the GDS write routine to provide an error message when an abstract
view points to a GDS file but the GDS file cannot be found.
less confusing. Removed leading spaces in instance path which
could cause a failure to recognize that a path was not specified
for a use in an input file.
from the rigorous method of versioning in case files are relocated
and the use paths are no longer valid. Cells are then searched
for in the search paths in the traditional manner, albeit with a
stern warning. This should avoid most backwards-compatbility
issues.
written interprets the path of every use as either a full
absolute path or a path relative to the parent cell, given the
different ways that a parent cell's path could be specified
(absolute or relative).
the path component of the use def was interpreted as being relative
to the parent when reading the cell def but not when writing,
resulting in paths being interpreted incorrectly.
enabling the "plow" command. At this time, however, not all
rules are being implemented correctly given the numerous changes
to the DRC handling since the last time "plow" was working. Fixes
are ongoing.
file writes by adding the path for each cell use, but being ignored
for file reads. The cell path saved in the .mag file is now honored
on read-back. If the cell needs updating, then the cell version
can be manipulated using "cellname filepath". No UI methods are
currently implemented for managing cell versions.
that are longer than the formerly-fixed array size 256. This
conflicted with the recent addition of holding path data in
properties, where the path coordinates can be significantly
longer than the fixed array size. Same change as made to magic
version 8.1.
development had been halted since it was first created back in April.
Version 8.2 is now the official development version, with the first
development push to create a Cairo graphics interface.
