in trying to create native (eg tsmc design rule) techfiles, smaller pitch overhead can be achieved if "shrinks" per layer on cif/strm out were possible. the trouble is that these would disconnect shapes that abut across cells (as each cell would shrink it's shape and so a gap of 2*shrink would be formed between them). it could be avoided if there were a 'must_overlap' (similar to the 'no_overlap') drc rule. then layers that were going to be shrunk on cif/gds out could specify that they need an overlap >= 2*shrink, so they would still connect after cif/gds output. is there an easier way to get this effect ? thanks, /jeff
