makeCellGridAlignment

layout makeCellGridAlignment cyclic { "none" | "snapOrigin" | "pushGrid" }

Description

Makes adjustments to the global grids in the new cell being created. It adjusts the global grids to ensure that on-grid geometries do not become off-grid after a Make Cell operation.

Valid values are:

• none: (Default) No grid adjustment is performed.
• snapOrigin: Snaps the origin of the made cell to the nearest intersection of all grid points. If the origin point for a Make Cell operation is "Custom", the origin of the made cell is not updated.
• pushGrid: Uses the grid offset mechanism to ensure that the grids computed in the new, made cell are parallel to that of the design from which the Make Cell operation was invoked. The origin of the new, made cell is not updated in this case.
