different layout snap for select vs. move/copy?

yeh1

Hi, is there a way to have a fine x/y snap for select and a coarse snap for move/copy?  I see only one .cdsenv setting

layout    xSnapSpacing    float    0.01
layout    ySnapSpacing    float    0.01

It would be nice to have, e.g.

layout    xSelectSnapSpacing    float    0.01
layout    ySelectSnapSpacing    float    0.01
layout    xMoveSnapSpacing    float    0.2
layout    yMoveSnapSpacing    float    0.12

This  would make it easier to move/copy cells from a custom library which are all 0.12um tall and a multiple of 0.2um wide, instead of typing in the desired snap every time I switch from select to move  Thanks.

    No.

    You could define a bind key to change the snap spacing on the fly conveniently - rather than setting the env vars, use hiGetCurrentWindow()~>xSnapSpacing=...
