Enhancements

ATE-3898Virtuoso Technology minSpacing coincidentAllowed is now imported by Animate.
ATE-3867

There is a new metric that can determine how complex the routing could be for match structures.

It returns a value for how complicated the routing is based off the location of the instance pins (only considering source, gate and drain). The greater the overlap between the nets the higher the score.

The resulting metric is a score between 0 and 100; where 100 is the worst possible case for routing.

ATE-3782

Animate now runs scripts within the /plugins directory.

This directory contains plugins for reporting wirelength, critical path wirelength, routing complexity, orientation, poly same environment, diffusion same environment, same environment, unit cell, antenna diode, diode in the center, low perimeter, proximity and number of fingers even.

When any new scripts are added into this folder, ensuring that the plugin schemas are obeyed, they should be run when Animate has finished the generated layouts.

ATE-3778
Instance constraints within a Group can now be edited at the Group level as well as the parent level.
ATE-3741The Animate Blueprint View now has an option to color the mosfets by their mfactor.
ATE-3535Significant performance improvements to Animate when the schematic has devices of high m-factor.


Resolved Issues

ATE-3902

Fixed a bug that could cause instances to disappear from Groups when non-functional changes were made to the Group's unconstrained instances.

ATE-3899
Fixed a bug that prevented Animate from showing floorplans.
ATE-3865

Animate generated layouts no longer have max length DRC violations.

ATE-3829Bus terminal CAS errors are no longer present in specific circuits, when running from a schematic in a writable library, with no target library set.
ATE-3781Animate now correctly generates all row variants for stacked mosfet matches.
