Hello,
I'm modifying Electric for use with new design technologies. This
includes the use of non-manhattan wiring and I've run into two main
problems that I'm having difficulty working around.
1. arc creation assumes manhattan layout
Once I've created the arc at a multiple of 90 degrees, I can move the
end around and the arc will remain in any angle I choose. However, it
would be preferable if I could create it at the angle I chose from the
start.
2. node creation occurs at odd locations and does not always work as a
result.
Once I have overlapping arcs where both are at an angle, the location
the tool decides to create a contact node or other more or less complex
node, it places them in odd locations and doesn't seem to actually
connect them either.
It always works if I place the connecting node around the head or tail
of the arc but since I cannot reliably create a pin node where I want,
or at all in most cases, placing it anywhere else on the arc fails so
long as the arc is at an odd angle. If the arc is at a manhattan angle
I have no difficulty and can then move the contact around and the wires
angle themselves as needed.
It would also be useful if I could disable lambda rules and lambda grid
placement for certain nodes and arcs.
Where in the code can I look to modify how these items are created so I
can make my own rules as to where they are created and what angles are
permitted at original creation?
