Schematic Driven Layout

Creating a design from a schematic is a widespread task where layout software is used. The LayoutEditor includes a schematic capture and can also read common schematic/netlist formats. The schematic is linked with the layout. This will support the design without restricting a free custom design. A netlist can be extracted for a build-in or external layout versus schematic (lvs).

Performance

As the LayoutEditor is available as 64-bit versions for all platforms, it can be used as well for multi Gb designs. Henceforth all significant features of the LayoutEditor are optimized to handel these huge designs. So for example multi Gb GDSII files can be loaded in less than 25s/Gb, if your hard disk gives that output. Also the painting performance was improved. With bigger designs a lack of performance is automaticly detected and scarcely visible details are omitted to increase the output performance.

Anniversary

Contest
About 5 years ago the LayoutEditor project was started. It achieved 44 downloads within the first month. Initial users made many feature requests. A quick implementation resulted in more users with more features request, ... It grown to a very popular and full featured editor which can easily keep up with high priced tools. Last month it achieved 3285 downloads.

Design Rule Checker

Validating the design rules is an important point in the design flow. The LayoutEditor has a integrated Design Rule Checker with many different rules checks. The errors are not only display in a list, but directly visualized within the design. As a matter of course all design rule checks work on all angle elements.

3D View

A two dimensional designing can sometimes be quit abstract. The LayoutEditor allows a fast three dimensional visualization for your design. The graphical setup can be done in few seconds. The 3D model/3D view can be exported and used for example for a FEM-analyse.

Macros

Macros or scripts are already standard to many programs. But the LayoutEditor has the possibility to record macro from the user interface like some office programs can do. This makes the macro creating very simple and reduced the time to learn commands. The macro are written in the most common language C and can be integrated in the menu structure. A transfer to the LayoutEditor source code is possible with minimal changes.
