Cells that are not part of the current cell are unaffected. By choosing the boolean-on-layer, you will automatically select all polygons on the referenced layers within the active cell. You could manually assign specific polygons to be "A" and "B" or you can simply do boolean-by-layer as I have done in this example. LayoutEditor refers to the existing polygons as "A" and "B". You can select the attacehed LEC file to see this example. I like to think of the XOR operator as "one or the other but not both" which is another way of saying the UNION of the polygons less the INTERSECTION of the polygons. Negative text size is independent of the current scaling and can not be converted. Second click a second corner of the bounding box. First click the first corner of a bounding box.
The created object does not have any function. Description Adds a circle or ellipse to the schematic/symbol. Prerequisite is a positive size of the text element. Activation: Circle This feature is part of the SchematicEditor. The arc tool is good for drawing parts of a circle. I have added two circles around the screw holes. The further the mouse is from the centre, the larger the circle will be. All selected text elements will be converted to polygons as display on the screen. To use the circle tool, select it, then click somewhere on the PCB where you would like the centre of the circle to be, and move your mouse to draw it. The circle will automaticly converted to a regular polygon. The circle will be fitted inside a entered box. Just select the text element and execute the ConvertToPolygon function. CircleFromBoxMode - LayoutEditor Wiki Circle from Box Mode Activation: SetCircleFromBoxMode Description A Polygon with a circular shape is added on the active layer. By choosing XOR, you are creating a new polygon wherever the two layers are different. This conversion can simply be done with the LayoutEditor. Or instead of subtracting one layer from the other you could do a boolean XOR. Before you draw anything though, go up to the options bar and set the layer. From here you could subtract layer 2 from layer 1 (1-2) and assign the results to layer 3. Any part of the green circle is exposed copper on both top and bottom sides. With boolean operators you take a combination of two existing polygons to create a new polygon.įor example, if we have a square polygon on layer 1 and a circular polygon on layer 2, you can select *UTILITIES > BOOLEAN TOOLS > BOOLEAN ON LAYER*. PS a small chart in the HELP system would be a good asset in this area.LayoutEditor offers many ways to do this. Now i just look at the turnout I am after and bingo - there is the rotation setting. at URL : http : // /Acq/Standard forms / Index html to submit a. I made a drawing of dropping RH and LH turnouts at all the rotation values and printing it out. The schematic / layout editor togram will include the appropriate. A negative rotation value starts from 3 oclock and goes clockwise, so again -90 is 6 pm. The positive rotation values now go counter clockwise so -90 is "noon".
Consider this - when a turnout is first dropped, say at rotation zero, this is the home position and is at 3 o clock on the watch face. When dropping turnouts onto your panel, it is not always clear how the turnout will look when dropped. when you are very well lined up, then bring your segment ends together to link up. It is very difficult to move things around when it is all connected.
#Layouteditor draw circle pro
When placing panel pro segments, bring them close to each other but do not connect them. In this tutorial, we will first draw the layout of an inverter using Virtuoso Layout Editor and then validate it using Calibre tools from Mentor Graphics. The color of the circle can be adjusted with SetColor before element creation or afterward with the EditItem feature. The feature is usualy used to create symbols, for example in symbole of bipolar transistors. There is no undo in panel pro, there is only a delete and then rebuild your element again. Description Circle is a graphical circle or ellipse element in a schematic without any function. You have to "drop" them to a xy corodinate thru a small GUI interface. Couple of thoughts here - You can not "drag" elements around on a panel in panel pro.
