8.2.74. Top-level port names are now flagged independently of
any subcircuit port, so they are easier to identify when determining
naming precedence for the net. This makes the code cleaner and
removes the problems arising from non-top-level ports and global
names overriding the subcircuit port names.
routine was erasing and redrawing in one step, which ignored the
possibility of having to erase from one window and redraw in
another if the cursor moved focus from one window to another.
This led to crosshairs being improperly drawn and erased when
multiple windows were present, if the windows had different cells
loaded.
avoid the problem where subcells violate DRC themselves but do
not violate DRC in the context of the parent (i.e., the parent
adds metal to avoid minimum area error), DRC errors in subcells
are neither counted nor displayed, but they remain present in
the subcell database. The DRC check enumerates all subcell
errors as mandatory check areas in DRCFindInteractions(), so
that those areas are always counted with the interaction areas.
Previously, if a subcell violated a DRC rule by itself, that
error would be counted and displayed in the parent even if the
parent had paint causing the error to no longer exist.
rescaling the internal units. The former in particular can
cause problems when moving the root box and importing cells from
a script (same change as made to magic-8.1).
