Hi,
I always use the copy-paste the layout in Cadence. But, recently I came across Baker book ( CMOS: Circuit, Design, Layout and Optimization ) 1998 Edition, where he suggested not to use the copy/paste feature because it would enlarge GDS file. I am sure it has been almost 20years since and the CAD should be optimized to overcome these issues! I post this here to ask you guys, Is that still be a problem in current Candece versions? I am using Cadence 6.1.6, so do I really need to avoid using the copy feature?
I attach the section from Baker book.
