Overview

The Layout Viewer is a useful tool for visualising the circuit and shows how pins, devices and nets are connected. It is easily accessible within XJDeveloper.

XJRunner, XJInvestigator and XJAnalyser can also access the Layout Viewer in certain situations, but only when the project they are using was exported with layout data included.

Layout Viewer features can be accessed via the menu, toolbar, layers and net or device selector.

Opening Layout Viewer from the command line

The Layout Viewer application can be opened directly from the command-line using the path to an ODB++ project as an argument. The application (LayoutApplication.exe) is typically installed in C:\Program Files\XJLayoutViewer\Bin.

You can start the Layout Viewer application as follows: 

LayoutApplication.exe [options] [ODB++ project file]

The following options can be used:

--devices [devices]
Provide a comma-separated list of device names to display upon opening.
--nets [nets]
Provide a comma-separated list of net names to display upon opening.
--pins [pins]
Provide a comma-separated list of pin names to display upon opening.

These arguments accept a list of values but a single value may also be provided. To use any of the options, an ODB++ project file must be specified as the last item on the command-line.
