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

  • Yes, it makes sense in that you need it to copy to another cellview. But if there was an option of making the cellview editable while you were trying to paste. Say you have your copy items hovering, you go to paste but the cell-view is readonly, so instead of cancelling and using spacebar to make editable, and grabbing the copy items again, a pop up window would appear, giving you the option to make directly editable? Would this be doable?

    I tried the File->Make Editable route, but you lose the copy hover and have to grab the copy again, can be strenuous if your items are in a distant area of the design.
