Any differences between the two cells are marked. Two cells of the current design are compared. This feature will not influence the resulting design. Also, all references to this cell are deleted. So after calling this feature, the current visible cell will be the only top-level cell in the design.Īny cell not at least containing a single shape is removed. With this feature, all cells not needed for the current cell are deleted. So the design will contain afterward a single cell with shapes and no more cell references.Ī design file may contain more than one top-level design. So by calling this feature, the current cell is flattened and all other cells are removed. If a copy already exists, a number is added to the cell name.Īll hierarchy is removed from the current design. The new cell is named with the old cell name with the extension _copy. So the effect will be identical to changing the referred cell with the Properties tool for any select cell reference.Ī new cell containing a copy of the current cell is added to the library. The referred cell of all selected references is changed to a new cell. All references to this adjust will be adjusted correspondingly. With this feature, you can move the origin without changing the resulting design. Switch back to a bookmark and you are back to the drawing, exactly as you left it before.Selecting all elements of a cell and moving it will have the effect of moving the cell origin, but it will change as well the location where this cell is referred. You can then switch to other parts of the drawing. A Bookmark can contain layer states, grid preferences, view-ports, view states, grid information, snap settings, transparency settings, and cell states.Īdd a bookmark and your current settings are saved. Blueprint introduces a simple solution - Bookmarks. Constantly shuffling between views and managing a lot of administrative trivia like layer visibility, grid sizes, snaps, cells and views. All-in-all, providing a very zen experience so that you can draw and edit away without distractions!Ĭurrent layout tools treat you like a parking attendant at a crowded lot. Cells, layers, grids are all available at your finger tips, but take up very little real estate, panels neatly hide after you have used them, tool-bars can be torn-off and re-positioned to you liking and then closed when you don't need them. That is why we designed Blueprint with a minimalist sensitivity that maximizes the drawing area. What’s more, Blueprint users can now link the layout with automatic mesh creation and refinement for device-level analysis!įull custom layout requires your undivided attention on the job at hand.
automatically linking masks created in Blueprint to process steps for creating 3D visualization of your device. Our design philosophy for Blueprint is: " simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible." That‘s why our product provides configurable palettes that you can drag and customize to your needs clearly illustrated icons and configurable grids and guides - all of which make device layout easier than ever. Our goal with Blueprint was to revisit the workflow of the layout engineer and create a tool that would be effortless to learn and use. The challenges of MEMS layout are compounded further by the fact that most tools available are IC layout tools, or less-appropriately, architectural design tools.īlueprint is the first layout tool designed specifically for the MEMS community. When you think about it, MEMS layout is one of the most cumbersome parts of the design process, involving countless revisions, incompatible data formats and minute details.
