Support for Orthogonal WSP Grid

While creating a pin, the orthogonal width spacing pattern (WSP) grid constraint defined in the technology file automatically adjusts the pin with a variable extension value so that the start and end points of a pin are on the grid.

The constraint group is specified in the technology file as follows:

constraintGroups(
;( group               [override]           [definition]         [operator] )
;( -----   ---------- ------------             ---------- )
( "orthogonalWSPGridCG"         nil    nil    'and
spacings(
     ( orthogonalWSPGrid          "Metal1"   "M2WSP" )
     ( orthogonalWSPGrid          "Metal2"   "M5WSP" )
     ( orthogonalWSPGrid          "Metal3"   "M4WSP" )
    ) ;spacings
  ) ;orthogonalWSPGridCG
) ;constraintGroups

If the orthogonal WSP grid constraints are part of a specific constraint group, you can select the constraint group from the Default Wire Constraint Group field in the Wire Editing section of the Layout Editor Options form.
