autoTapType

layout autoTapType string { "layer" | "attributes" | "layer attributes" }

Description

Controls how the auto tap command behaves. It is used to set whether attributes of the tapped objects will be used, and whether to switch to a different layer when tapping on an object that is on a different layer than the current layer.

• layer: Taps only layers of the object.
• attributes: Captures the beginning and ending extensions, the end type, and the width.
• layer attributes: Default. Taps both attributes and layers of the objects.

For trls, bends and tapers the tap command captures the bend factor (maximum width before they are chamfered), taper style (linear or exponential), number of points to taper in user units, the bend style (bend chamfer or radial), the width of a chamfered bend in a transmission line as a multiple of its standard width in user units, the number of segments in a radial bend in a transmission line as a function of the number of segments in a 180-degree radial bend, the radius of a radial bend in a transmission line as a multiple of the transmission-line width in user units, the width of the first end of a transmission line bend in user units, the width of the second end of a transmission line bend, and the width of the second end of a transmission line bend in user units.
