In the LayoutEditor as well as in the GDSII file format four kinds of shapes exists:Ī multi segment line, having a width and a setting for its caps. Loading of such a file will change both: userunits and database units. Some file formats include this setting and also include the database units. It is specific to a design (and not a global setting). Userunits is the unit used to display any coordinate, length, dimensions, etc.
If you change the database units within the setup dialog, you can select whether the elements are adopted (=same absolute dimensions) or not modified (=same integer value=scaled by the change of database units). All coordinates can only be a multiply of the database unit. The database unit is the distance represented by 1 and therefore the smallest possible distance in the design. Show All Layers (shortcut: 4):ĭatabase Units and Userunits DatabaseunitsĪll coordinates of any design are saved as an integer. The layer shortcuts had to be set up prior. The key pressed after activation of this function will determine the visibility. The visibility of layers is changed via the layer shortcut. The key pressed after activation of this function will determine the active layer. After pressing the first shortcut the layer shortcuts will be displayed in the layer list. It is possible to reuse an existing shortcut for the layer-shortcut. The shortcuts of the layer can be set via Layer Properties, Layer Manager or the command line. With the following key(s) the layer is selected. With the first key, the function is activated. Some additional features like loading the setting from other formats or generating a macro with the current layer setting will be displayed after pressing the little + in the lower left of the dialog.įast access to setup the layers is using shortcuts. Is a dialog with all settings for all layers.
Some optional settings will be displayed after pressing the little + in the lower left of the dialog. In the dialog, all settings of a single layer can be adjusted. It can be opened with a control+shift left mouse click from the layer dock window. Shapes on different layers are displayed differently. Each shape of a design belongs to a layer.
