XSection EBeam Tool Error #212

Closed nicteb closed 3 months ago

nicteb commented 3 months ago

When trying to use the XSection tool on components from the EBeam library (v0.4.3), ANT components (v0.4.3), or SiN library (v0.4.3), the following error is displayed and no cross-section is shown:

A blank new layout tab is opened titled [XSECTION] but is blank.

Windows, KLayout v0.29.1, python packages v1.2, siepic_tools v0.5.7, siepic_ebeam_pdk v0.4.9 (all up-to-date as of time of issue).

Can you please upgrade SiEPIC-EBeam-PDK to v0.4.11 via the package manager?

After restarting KLayout, you should see the xsection menu with v 1.8

Then find the file EBeam/xsect/EBeam_ANT.xs

If the v 1.8 doesn't appear, it is because there are the old xsection files remaining from the v0.4.9 PDK. The package manager doesn't delete files, only adds them... If so, please remove:

EBeam/pymacros/xsection.lym
EBeam/pymacros/SiEPIC_xsection.lym

Then restart again. If that doesn't solve it, please let me know.

Thanks Lukas

Yep, after upgrading v1.8 is available and I can successfully get the cross-section to display by running the .xs file! The shortcut doesn't seem to work though:

But the macro file is now appearing in the menu, so that helps!

Indeed, I think it is a minor bug here: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/xsection/issues/34
