SOURCE
The SOURCE file format was developed in the 70th in the former UdSSR. It was commonly used in the Eastern Bloc. The SOURCE file format is a binary format with a single file for each cell. The length of cell names is limited to 6 character. A fix databaseunit of 100nm is used.
Using SOURCE in the LayoutEditor
The LayoutEditor can load all features of the SOURCE file format without any limitations. Saving is also possible. Before a save the existing design will be set to the used database resolution and all cell names will be changes to maximal 6 characters. It will be guaranteed, that no identical cell name exists. The file name of each cell will be identical with the cell name. Cell arrays with negative or non orthogonal spacing are not possible in the file format. Also not supported are rotations other than a multiply of 90°.
