Boolean Tools

Boolean operations help to generate shapes or even hole layers automatically. The LayoutEditor supports all possible boolean operation with 2 layers like intersection, subtraction, addition, ...

Usage

• Set the elements used for the boolean operation. ( SetSelectToA, SetSelectToB)

• Activate the layer on which the result should be added.
• Perform the desired operation.
• The original shapes are maintained and not deleted in the default operation. A addition operation exists with a included delete of the source shapes.

Boolean Operations

• A+B

• A*B

• A-B

• B-A

• AExorB

For each operation exists the same feature with an included delete of the source shapes:

• A+B With Delete

• A*B With Delete

• A-B With Delete

• A-B With Delete A only

• B-A With Delete

• B-A With Delete B only

• AExorB With Delete

Alternative Boolean Operation

There is also feature to create a new layer from a boolean operation on two existing layers. This feature works with frames which enables boolean operation in very large structures and also supports a one layer merge and a xor between all shapes of one layer.

The CropWithSelection and PunchWithSelection feature also does some kind of boolean operation. It preserves the hierarchie of the design, if that is possible to perform the operation.
