Gravity options in ICADV node

RK56

Hi,

I'm using ICADV12.2-64b and I'm not much fan of the improved gravity options. I'd like to have the gravity controls which was there in IC616. Is there a way to disable the new feature and get the old one?

I liked the one with Edge/Nexus/Vertex/..

Thanks

  • Ramakrishnan,

    The new gravity snapping algorithm is based on pixel distances, not database level distances. The small through to very large corresponds to 10,20,30,40 pixels. This way the gravity works similarly regardless of the zoom level - in my experience this is more useful than doing it on the distances you've described - the whole point is for your cursor to be near to something and then gravitationally attract, but the cursor movement is in pixels. So this is a fundamental change in behaviour which makes gravity far more useful when you're operating at (say) full chip levels.

    BTW, there is a CCR to request that the gravity controls return to the form - CCR 1538719. This has a number of duplicates currently; contacting customer support to get another duplicate filed would increase the likelihood of this being done sooner rather than later.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
