Draw rectangle polygon (box) 1. Move the cursor to the selected layer box. See the left button mouse function box.

Poly type polygon selected

CHOOSE function (left button)

MENU function (right button)

2. Click LMB (left mouse button) at box as shows in the Figure below to select the layer

Click Here 3. Move the mouse to the layout sheet and see the button mouse box function. Left button shows DRAW function and right as SELECT.

4. Click LMB and hold and move the mouse to design a polygon, and then release the LMB.
Draw orthogonal polygon (using nibble function) 1. First, we need to draw rectangle polygon. Then select the polygon. After that click the function nibble as shows in the Figure below.

Click Here 2. Mouse button box function will shows DRAW BOX function for left button. Then click LMB to draw the box over the existing box. The area between polygon and existing box.

Existing Box

Draw a box

Result after nibble process

Draw orthogonal polygon (using merge function) 1. Draw a three separate box as shows in the Figure below. Then select all the boxes. 2. Click menu Draw>Merge.

Draw three boxes

Result after merge process

3. This step is useful to design the layout by draw the complete boxes first. Then select all boxes and repeat instruction no. 2. All box which in the same layer which besides each other will be a orthogonal polygon. Select polygon 1. Move the cursor inside or boundary of the polygon. Then click RMB (right mouse button.) 2. For more than one polygon, Press <Shift> (Shift keyboard button) AND repeat step 1. Move the Polygon 1. Select the polygon. Press <Alt> (Alt keyboard button) and hold. Then click LMB and hold it and move it to the new area. Move the polygon boundary 1. Objective of the technique is to resize the polygon. 2. Press <Ctrl> and hold. Then click RMB and hold over the polygon boundary. 3. Press <Alt> and hold. Then click LMB and hold over the polygon boundary. Then Move the mouse to the new area.

Move the boundary line using mouse

Process result

1. Click the selected polygon. Press <Ctrl> and hold. Click LMB and hold over the selected polygon and move to a new are. Create Port 1. An example to create a new port at layer Metal1. First make sure Port polygon in the same layer (Metal1). 2.Click layer Metal1 inside the Select box layer.

Click here

3. Draw a small box (suggestion-use 2x2) inside the selected polygon area (for example-Metal1). Figure below shows the port configuration. Write the name in Port name text field Change the text sizeExample: 2

4. Click 'OK.'
Edit port 1. Select the port first. Click menu Edit>Edit Object(s)

Write the name in Port name text field. Then Click OK

Rotate layout position 1. First, select the layout.

Click here

Design Rules Checker ( DRC ) Function

1.

Click here

Clicks: - Place error ports - Write errors to file

2. Type name file in file location text field. DRC file will place in this location. For example :\\Ecad\sew4213\user\filename.DRC. Then click 'OK.' Figure below shows the example of errors in after DRC function process.

5 errors found in the layout design

3. Click menu (Tools>Clear Error) to clear all the errors (Cross symbol) in the current layout. Figure below shows the delete object on error layer pop-up menu. Choose This cell (Cel0) and click 'OK.'

4. All the error will be place into the .DRC file. Load .DRC file to see the errors. 5. Make a correction in the layout design. Then check the layout by using DRC function again.
