Thanks for the prompt response as always,

I finally got how it works.

Hello Keith,

The align command is not arranging the cells. I select say 5-10 pcells and press "A" bindkey, this brings up a pop-up asking for align options.
After setting options nothing happens, objects just don't get aligned at all. Please let me know where I'm going wrong with the usage of the command.

I am using 4.5.31. I hadn't migrated to the newer versions as i had no issues with the 4.5.31. I will update to the latest version and report if the mentioned bug appears.

Thank You Keith

Hi Keith,

When we call a PCell and create an array of the pcell by entering the rows * columns and its respective spacing, we are able to get the array properly.

Lets say after placing this array in the layout window we get the array as expected.
Assume Row = 4, Col = 4 RowSpacing = 3 ColSpacing = 3, i get the devices array.

Lets say for some reason I want to change the array Row & Col spacing to 4 & 4, I will have the option to select the array and modify it from 3-4, But when I do this the array disappears and only one device remains instead of my expected 4*4.

This happens only if I edit the parameters of the array, not during creation of a new array.

Yes Keith,

The understanding of my issue is exactly correct, but as you said I'm not attaching a techfile/library multiple times but the thing is lets I've attached a library A and then after a crash when I re-open it the layer is changed to something else say POLY to METAL even without attaching any other library or techfile.

Hi Keith,

This is a weird issue which is being encountered multiple times, What exactly happens is let us say if I have a layout attached to a specific techfile, whenever Glade crashes and the layout is re-opened the drawn layout layer automatically changes to something else.

Ok Keith,

Thank You

Hi Keith,

Is there an option in Glade which would allow me to create a Metal Bus which has an option of setting the number of metal paths in the bus. This option would help me to create an Inductor structure very easily. And having an option to set spacing between these paths of the bus would be a good addition.

Ok,

Thank You

Correction….

geomSpace(MET2,0.60,10,5,"12S12b : min. space between M2 lines with one or both M2 line width are greater than 10um must be 0.60um")

I tried to use the new length option but there is an issue with this: I get error saying
NotImplementedErrror: "No matching function for overloaded geomSpace"

My guess here is its not taking the fourth argument i.e length.
When I delete the 4th argument in command i.e.(geomSpace(MET2,0.60,10,"12S12b : min. space between M2…) the execution goes clean.

Please let me know if I'm going wrong somewhere in the way I've interpreted the new command

Okay Keith,

Thank You

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the geomArea & geomSpace update, and the above new feature generate layout.

Does this genLayout only generates devices or does it also generates pins connections just the way it does in Cadence? Cadence also points out the schematic connectivity in layout so just curious to know whether this does the same thing and I tried to put a pin and was not able to generate it in layout.

Thank you very much Keith,

Really appreciate your patience and prompt response as ever.

Hi Keith,

The exact command line I've used is below:

geomSpace(MET1,0.60,10,0,"10S10b : min. space between M1 lines with one or both M1 line width are greater than 10um must be 0.60um")

PS: I tried to send the attachment through a email to support@peardrop.co.uk, But I get a mail delivery failure stating "Your message wasn't delivered to support@peardop.co.uk because the domain peardop.co.uk couldn't be found. Check for typos or unnecessary spaces and try again"
Note: I sent the mail from my gmail id, could that be an issue?
