@User what's the status on the 
def write
command? I made a few tests and didn't seem to export 
port
info (class, use), and it also seemed to missed some nets, but maybe I'm missing something
t
It will not export 
port
info unless you declare it, since magic doesn't know the class, use, and shape automatically. Use the 
port
command to declare these for each port.

from what I could test, either by creating a simple layout in magic and defining a couple of ports with 
class
and`use` or by doing a 
def read
from an openlane generated .def and then doing 
def write
I always get a .def file with the PINS section empty. Probably I'm missing something, but I couldn't do it.

@User: Sorry, this is one of those things that I wrote down in the code as "to be completed" and never got around to doing it in spite of the fact that it is easy enough to code. I just coded it up and the update should get pushed today, after I test some other code changes.
@User: I just pushed the update to magic on opencircuitdesign.com; "def write" will now write the PINS section.

great!
the other thing I noticed is that it does some weird things with the shape of the nets. I get a lot of 
Net has width XXX, default width is XX
messages I guess it uses the layers default orientation and width and modifies the exported net taking that into account. I don't know if that is something you can override with some setting or not (I haven't updated to the last commit yet)
t
@User: Yes, I noticed that, too; could be that it just needs to read a technology LEF file first, but I'll debug that when I can get around to it.
