@Tim Edwards I have a feature request for magic: I would like to have an export function in magic that exports all the DRC rules into a machine readable format (e.g. JSON, XML, CSV, ...) into a file.

That's great, but there has to be some agreement on what the format is. DRC rules are notoriously un-formattable (other than the very basic width and spacing rules). Most depend on very complicated boolean geometry. Klayout now has a pretty good system which could be used as a basis for a "universal" (at least for open source tools) DRC format.

I would need it for the magic DRC engine, since I need magic's incremental DRC engine for speed. Is KLayout also incremental? From my point of view it would be great if magic could load KLayout's DRC format.
