Hi! I have a small question about setting grid controls in layout editor... I would like to set grid value 10nm... Are the below lines can set grid for 10nm minor spacing = 0.01 major spacing = 0.01 X Snap Spacing = 0.005 Y Snap Spacing = 0.005 or shall I need to fill above four fields with 0.01 Which will essentially decides the grid value for the layout editor... Thanks in Advance... Prabhakar. K -- Layout Engineer

  • I'm surprised my previous reply wasn't clear enough, or that a small amount of experimentation couldn't have told you this, but let me try again.

    Yes, the snap spacing should be 0.01 (assuming user units of micron). The major/minor grid can be whatever you want - they merely control how the major/minor grid dots/lines are displayed on the screen and do not affect entry of data.

    I didn't say precisely step by step what you needed to set, because "grid" means different things to different people (as I said before).

    Regards,
