Slam-Edit is an IC mask layout editor. The editor is a full featured editor with all the standard commands expected in an editor. It is unmatched in terms of editing speed and memory footprint. If your waiting to open, edit and stream out your design using your current editor, you must look at this editor. The editor provides some unusual features not found in competitive products. For example, the editor supports 16 selection bins. This feature allows objects to be protected from selection by putting them in an unused bin. The editor allows selection amendment. This provides the capability to switch to the next most likely candidate when the wrong object was selected. By providing 16 candidates with each point selection, you will almost never need to alter selection masks to get what you want. The editor also provides lots of little improvements like a lock manager that doesn't leave locks around from dead processes. The editor is in use in over 60 locations. Its primary application is IC, but has been used for "MEMS layout" too. See the polar array example below.
