The Solido Custom IC Design team has been working hard to bring you tips & tricks to perfect your tool experience while improving your overall effectiveness. Focusing on the L-Edit journey, the following specific videos will aid users to improve physical placement and increase efficiency in frequent debugging tasks.
- Using Flylines to drive better placement
- Using Highlight Connected to navigate routing most effectively across a design
- Mastering the L-Edit mouse use-model to drive smoother object editing
- Debug faster with fully integrated Calibre Real Time
Siemens’ L-Edit offering continues to provide design engineers with intelligent capabilities that streamline the layout design process. Among these is the use of Flylines to enhance cell placement, a feature that provides real-time visual guidance as you position components.
By displaying connection paths between cells, Flylines enable you to make informed placement decisions that optimize signal integrity and minimize routing complexity from the outset. Complementing this is the acceleration of circuit navigation tasks through the Highlight Connected feature, which instantly shows interconnects across your design. This powerful capability dramatically reduces the time spent tracing connections manually, allowing you to focus your efforts on resolving issues rather than hunting for them.
Together, these features create a more intuitive and efficient design environment that keeps your workflow moving forward. L-Edit further elevates productivity through a focused mouse use-model to enabling faster object movement.
One of the most valuable powerful debug integrations is with Calibre Real Time which enables access to the full Calibre DRC rule deck in a localized space. This allows critical design sections to be individually reviewed prior to a full-chip DRC pass. By catching violations in real time, you can address issues incrementally as they arise, reducing rework and accelerating your path to a clean, manufacturable design. These integrated capabilities transform L-Edit into a comprehensive solution that supports both the creative and verification aspects of modern layout design.
