If you go to the display options dialog (use 'e' bindkey) and look at your snap settings, do you have it set to diagonal? Try turning it to either manhattan or any angle.

The message means you are trying to stretch when the snap mode is diagonal, and the edge you are trying to stretch is neither manhattan or diagonal. The snap grid of 0.001 probably isn't helping here.

[Keith]

There could be many reasons. For example do you have gravity turned on, and if so what range? What is your snap setting – could that have an effect?

If you try and create a self-intersecting polygon, a warning will be given and nothing happens.

If you can give a simple example that is reproducible, I can look into it. Else I'm just guessing.

[Keith]

Should work if you are in partial select mode. Use the F4 key to toggle selection mode.

Do you mean the GDS layer/datatype numbers in the techfile (see the example.tch file)?

If you read in a GDS with layers on one set of GDS layer/datatype numbers, and want to write it out using a different set on numbers, you can use 2 techfiles.

Load the GDS with the first techfile (the from mapping). Then load the second techfile (the to mapping) and write the GDS.

Just select the shape you want to chop, then use the Edit->Chop command and enter two coordinates defining the rectangle you want to chop.

Glade is linked to the system libs for its embedded python :

Keiths-MBP:MacOS keith$ otool -L glade
glade:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python (compatibility version 2.7.0, current version 2.7.10)

I believe you can control the framework search path using the env var DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH if you want it to pick up a non-standard python framework?

Then the module load path (sys.path) is set using the env var PYTHONPATH.

[Keith]

When opening from the command line, you get the environment variables set in your .bash_profile. And presumably this is where you are setting PYTHONPATH.

Any reason why you have a 2.7.15 installation – the current version for an up to date MacOS is 2.7.10?

Hello,
I wonder, is it possible for to link Glade to the subsequently installed Python, in this case 2.7.15, and its accompanying 3rd party modules, instead of linking to the MAC OS system Python.

Glade is built with the current Python version (in my case it is 2.7.10) but will use the site libraries of your installation, depending where PYTHONPATH is set to.

Is there a particular issue you are encountering that is causing a problem with the default site libraries?

[Keith]

I just tested using the 'example' library and the cellview 'dtype schematic'

The result is a netlist with a subcircuit 'dtype' and its hierarchical contents

Does your top level cell have a symbol view – with NLPDeviceFormat property?

[Keith]

Is it possible there are two devices in parallel in the extracted netlist? If combining parallel devices is turned on (the default), the two devices will be reduced into a single device with the sum of the widths. The reduced device name will be one or other of the original devices.

[Keith]

As of version 4.6.53, Glade is built with the system Python. So you don't need to install/build your own; e.g. on Debian/Ubuntu:

apt-get install python2.7-minimal

Should be all you need.

[Keith]

Please try the rule:

geomSpace(layer1, layer2, 1, project, "layer1-layer2 space < 1")

This will only flag edges that project i.e. have some parallel edges.

[Keith]

Actually if you try now, attachments should be enabled.

[Keith]

Can you send the example to support@peardrop.co.uk ? The attachment doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,
Keith
