Folks, I've been using Magic for the past few years for verification of designs I've laid out in another editor (Gedit, a calma emulator) that does not have DRC or LVS capability. I have found it most useful. One feature that I would like to see improved is the non-manhatten geometry conversion. The present algorithm creates a stair-step geometry as advertised but the width is substantially greater than the original geometry. As a result DRC spacing checks generate "false" errors. I've looked at the code that does this in the past but with my lack of c skills looking at it is all I have been able to do. If there is any interest in improving this section of the code in the future I would certainly be glad to see it. Thanks, Cecil Aswell
