Hi Francesc, this is a bug, it should be checking for 6 or 9 parameters, not 7 or 9. I'll fix it in 4.3.7.
I can reproduce this, need to look into it a bit deeper so probably won't have a fix until the weekend.
Have you checked you GLADE_HOME env var points to the current installation? The application looks in $GLADE_HOME/html directory for the help .htm files.
I'm on vacation this week so if this is a real problem I'll check next weekend when I'm back.
I have implemented this, but the default is not to generate multiple pin labels, as std cells with fractured pins (single pins which have been converted from polygons to trapezoids) look very cluttered. It will be available in version 4.3.4.
Well, I guess that is a matter of opinion. For std cells this is usually what you want. For other types of macro, maybe you do want text on every pin shape.
I guess it could be implemented as an option on the import LEF dialog.
1) I guess a global text display scale factor could be set that works on the view level. Currently all text objects have a 'height' attribute which can be different for each object. A scale factor would then scale this for display purposes.
2) That's more difficult. A single techfile layer is used for LEF text labels. One solution would be to have all labels created during import LEF on the same layer as they are for. The problem with this is that they would not be so easy to see.
Another option would be to create text labels on the same layer as the shape they refer to, but a different purpose e.g. 'text'. However then making e.g. layer 'M2 pin' invisible will not make the 'M2 text' invisible, you'll have to seperately make both layers invisible.
What do you think?
