The Extraction View Button: Display Extraction Layers
When the Extraction View button in the Extract Menu is
active, the display in the main window is based on features as known
to the extraction system. Although similar to the normal display,
there are important differences:
- Only the conducting layers are shown.
- The features from internally-flattened subcells are shown as part
of the parent cell.
- The geometry shown represents the processing from the
Conductor Exclude directive.
- The visible geometry includes ground-plane processing.
This viewing mode is compatible with most other commands, however when
active, editing is prevented. Object and subcell selection works in
the normal way, however only visible objects can be selected, which
includes the ``phony'' objects created by the extraction system and
not present in the actual geometry database.
