Copy command executable in read-only mode

blankman

Hi, I notice in IC6 its possible to initiate the copy command in the layout editor even though the cellview is in read-only mode, whereas the stretch or move commands sound a warning when executed in read-only mode. I am finding this troublesome as when have copied a large array and go to paste, its results in having to cancel the command, excape out of the copy command, make the cell editable and start over. Is it possible to make the copy command non-executable in read-only mode?

Thanks

  • The reason why you can do this in readonly mode is because you might want to copy to a different cellView.

    However, there's no need to cancel the command, escape out of copy. If you're in the middle of the copy command and it won't let you click to paste the results because it's not editable, you can just do  File->Make Editable whilst in the middle of the copy command - and then you can paste.

    Isn't that simpler than trying to disable the copy command in readonly mode?
