    • grayscale import of bitmaps as designs,
  • User Interface:

  • Macros:

    • add new method to drawingField class: deleteLayer(sourceLayer, sourceDatatype), moveLayer(sourceLayer, sourceDatatype, destLayer), copyLayer(sourceLayer, sourceDatatype, destLayer), sizeLayer(int layer, int size), unusedLayer(int), copyArea(rect,layerSource,layerDest),
    • add new method to drc class: removeNoDrcViolations(layer),
    • add new method to cell class: minkowskiSumSelect(pointArray pa), getDensityLayer(int layer, QPoint pos, int sizeX, int sizeY, int spaceX, int spaceY, int nx, int ny),
    • macro recoding of different group functions,
    • overflow check for numbers,
  • File Formats:

    • detection of file format for unknown file name extensions,
