snapPatternIndexSnappingLayers

layout snapPatternIndexSnappingLayers string { "" | "t" | "layerNames" }

Description

Specifies whether the snap period-based snapping is enabled, and if enabled, the order of layers to be used for snapping. You can set any of the following values:

• "": Disables the snap period-based snapping. Instances can be snapped to any track of a grid.
• t: Enables the snap-period based snapping to be performed by using the default order of layers specified in the technology file. This is the default value.
• layerNames: Enables the snap period-based snapping to be performed by using the order of layers that you specify.

When snap period-based snapping is enabled, snapping is performed based on the snapGridPeriod constraint defined for a grid and the leSnapPatternSnappingHorizontalGridDetail or leSnapPatternSnappingVerticalGridDetail property defined for instances or the master cellview.
