Edit/Modify Menu Commands

The following !set keywords affect commands found in the Edit Menu and the Modify 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.

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.

MaxGhostObjects
Value: integer 50-5000.
This sets the maximum number of objects to render individually as ``ghosts'' attached to the mouse pointer during operations such as move and copy. This can be set to an unsigned integer in the range 50-5000. If there are more than this number, some outlines won't be shown, the smaller-area objects will be skipped. The default is 400 if this variable is not set. If, when moving a large number of objects, the pointer motion is too sluggish, the user can set this variable to compensate.

NoWireWidthMag
Value: boolean.
When set, the width of wires does not change when the wire undergoes magnification, in a Move, Copy, or Flatten operation.

CrCellOverwrite
Value: boolean.
When set, The Create Cell operation in the Edit Menu and the CreateCell script function can overwrite cells already in memory. This can be dangerous and is prevented by default.
