Selected Cells in Cell Library Dialog

The Cell Library dialog should be enhanced to highlight and filter for selected Cells. This would help provide users a focal point for editing and updating Cells. The Cell library could then function as a mustering point for follow on tasks like:-

  1. Open for Editing tool

  2. Updating / Replacing Cells

  3. Updating Cells from external Cell libs See Auto Update Parametric Cells introduced in Mstn 17. As mentioned elsewhere this functionality would be good to extend to Graphic / Shared Cells.

  4. Listing Parametric Cells selected using the new Select Similar tool

  5. Convert between Shared/Graphic/Point etc

  6. Export to .cel/folder

  7. ?

As mentioned elsewhere, the current Cell Library dialog is too focussed on reporting on external Cell libs for placing Cells and needs to look inwards to become more of a Cell Manager dialog.
