checkHalfWidthPathSeg always enforce

linbo

 Anybody got a fix for this dumb bug?

 

env variable in Virtuoso, checkHalfWidthPathSeg is always set to "enforce" regardless of actual environment setting either thru UI or by setting in CIW or .cdsenv file.

 

How can I turn this off?

    If you look in the documentation, you'll see that this controls half width path segments in the middle of the path. It always checks for the first/last segments being less than half width. These are the ones which cause danger because they can potentially be misinterpreted by tools that read mask data.

    In IC615, there's a new option of "never", which will then not check the first or last segment or indeed any of the segments (note this is just talking about paths, not the pathSeg objects which make up parts of IC61 wires).

    Even before this enhancement, it doesn't enforce it (it just notifies you of the half-width segment via a popup). So I'm not sure I see the "dumb bug" you describe.

    Regards,
