skill code in layout customization...

Hi Andrew,

I am taking xor of two similar layers(e.g. metal1 ) from two different layout cell views. I want to get that xor of the area displayed by the 'white error marker' (or thick highlight) , which is right now in text rectangle. Can this be achieved?

Thanks,

Anand

    One way to prevent the data being saved in the current cellView is to switch between the mode to "s" or "r" using dbReopen. Once you are done with the edits, you can close the data, discarding the edits automatically.

    If you want to just deal with the created shapes, save their ID's and delete each shape when you are done. (I usually use the Y layers for these intermediate shapes) or open a separate scratch cell which you can place the output of the XOR and only copy the relevant data back to the edit cell.
