Edit Menu Commands
The following !set keywords affect commands found in the
Edit Menu.
-
- MasterMenuLength
Value: integer 1-75.
This integer variable sets the length of the list of master cells
retained in the Cell Placement Control panel. The default is
25, which may not be correct for some screen resolutions. It is not
very useful if the pull-down menu extends off-screen.
The treatment of any path which is given with a cell to open in the
Edit command can be altered with the next two variables.
-
- NoReadExclusive
Value: boolean.
When a native cell name with a path is opened, the path is
stripped from the cell name. If the path is not already in the search
path, it is added. Ordinarily, the path is put in front of the search
path for the duration of the read, so that subcells will be opened
from the same directory. If this variable is set, the path is not
necessarily moved to the front of the search path.
- AddToBack
Value: boolean.
A path stripped from a given cell name in the Edit command is
added to the back of the search path, rather than the front.
The behavior is described below for the various permutations:
NoReadExclusive unset
AddToBack unset
(default behavior)
The directory is added to the front of the search path during the read.
The ``.'' element of the path, if it exists, is moved to the front
after the read.
NoReadExclusive unset
AddToBack set
The directory is added to the front of the search path during the read.
The ``.'' element of the path, if it exists, is moved to the front,
and the directory is moved to the end after the read.
NoReadExclusive set
AddToBack unset
If the directory exists in the path, nothing is changed, otherwise the
directory is added to the front. After the read, the ``.'' entry, if it
exists, is moved to the front.
NoReadExclusive set
AddToBack set
If the directory exists in the path, nothing is changed, otherwise the
directory is added to the end.
-
- UndoListLength
Value: integer >= 0.
This variable sets the number of operations remembered in the Undo command. If not set, 25 operations are saved. If set to zero,
the length is unlimited.
- NoWireWidthMag
Value: boolean.
When set, the width of wires does not change when the wire undergoes
magnification, in a Move, Copy, or Flatten
operation.
- CrsymOverwrite
Value: boolean.
When set, The Create Cell operation in the Edit Menu and
the CreateSymbol script function can overwrite cells already in
memory. This can be dangerous and is prevented by default.
