IAT ToolBox
IAT ToolBox is a shell for differant kinds of utilities for MicroGDS.
Available utilities are:
IAT Rename Objects is a utility that helps you rename all selected objects. You
can replace all instances of the specified substring in the object name with instances
of the new substring.
You can:
- search the for every occurrence in the full objects name.
- restrict the search to selected facets only.
- search last facet only. It doesn’t matter how many facets the object name has, only
last facet will be affected.
- match case and/or match whole facet only.
- search only those objects which have a specified substring in the object name.
- search only those objects which have a specified substring in a specified facet
of the object name.
Further more you can:
- add a new facet at specified position.
- replace a specified facet (independently of its current value) with a new substring.
- remove a specified facet.
- add a substring to a specified facet either as prefix or as suffix.
You can also “Test” your renaming and show the result in a dialog before you perform
the operation in MicroGDS. In this test dialog you also can:
- Manually edit the new object name by typing directly in the object name.
- Identify every object in the dialog either by flashing the object, select the
object or by select the object and the zoom the selection.

IAT Set Edit is a utility that helps you to restrict editing to particular objects
or primitives in a document. MicroGDS assigns a link number to every primitive,
object, and layer in a document. Link numbers are used to uniquely identify an item.
With this utility you can restrict editing to a unique primitive or objects. For
objects this means that you can restrict editing to a unique object even if several
objects share the same name.
You can:
- restrict editing to a unique combination of objects by clicking on those objects
- restrict editing to a unique combination of primitives by clicking on those primitives
- restrict editing to currently selected objects
- restrict editing to currently selected primitives
- exclude a unique primitive or object from being edited
