The environment variable 'ESY_DIR' (pointing to the LAYTOOLS installation directory) is missing or wrong. Note: In older versions of LAYED, 'ESY_DIR' must not contain heading or trailing space and must be terminated by a backslash.T] Back to TopThe license file is missing or cannot be found.If the environment variable 'ESY_LICENSE' is set it must point to the desired license file (file name including directory path). Otherwise a license file 'esy.lic' is expected in the directory '<ESY_DIR>'.
Back to TopMy work library is locked.If it is currently locked by
another program, do not access this library before it is unlocked
again. A DBX library is locked only when writing groups
to it. After that it is unlocked immediately. If the
lock switch of the library is set due to a program or system crash
while the library was locked enter "dbxunloc <library_name>"
in a terminal window. In this case it is also recommended to
perform the DBXTOOLS command "dbxpurge" to remove unused
or obstructed space from the file. Why do I have a large amount of unused blocks in my library? Create a new library and copy all
existing groups and all group versions to it by using the DBXTOOLS
command DBXCOPY. Enter "dbxcopy <old library>*;*
<new library> *" in a terminal window. The
created library contains neither unused blocks nor group
fragmentations. How to create an array in a pGroup? The LAYED command ARRAY works for COG elements (call of group) only . Using this command to create an array of rectangles you can define a group (i.e. named CONTACT) containing a single rectangle and then call this group from the pGroup: #pGroup procedure SETARRAYSIZE 'X' 'Y' 'DX' 'DY' ARRAY CONTACT 0 0 The disadvantage of this method is: The layer and the size of the single contact rectangle are fixed in the definition of the called CONTACT group. Only the array dimensions (X,Y,DX,DY) are adjustable when the pGroup is placed. A better way is to create the array of rectangles in a loop inside the pGroup procedure. This allows also the layer and rectangle size to be a parameter of the pGroup. This case is demonstrated in the EXAMPLE_PGROUP group which was delivered as <esy_dir>\DAT\PGROUP\PGROUP.DBX. How do I nest commands? A. Command nesting in LAYED means: When the a text string is found instead of coordinate input (required by a previous command) and this text string is a LAYED command, the new command is executed and the previous command continues when the inserted command has finished. The LAYED command interpreter language has no 'FOR' or 'WHILE' construct. You must use the 'GOTO' or 'GOIF' command. Please see the EXAMPLE_PGROUP procedure. There is a nested loop for the X and Y dimension of an array. Back to Top
