Hi, I might ask a stupid question. Does anyone know how to copy multiple instances together at the same time (also including the routing between these instances) in magic? For example, in the pic I attached below, I would like to copy these 16 unitcell2 together (basically I would like to copy all the stuff in the red circle). Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks.

The

a

key (or

select area

command) will create the selection, then you move the mouse pointer to the point where you want to copy to, and hit the

c

key (or

copy

command). Note that as long as your subcells are unexpanded like you show above, they and any routing inside the selected area will get captured in the area selection. If you are trying to move or copy both subcells and routing and the subcells are expanded, then you need to unexpand them first (

ctrl-X

key or

expand toggle

command). An area selection won't grab an expanded cell.

Got it. Thank you!
