Load a layout

Although you can use PyEDB to build an entire layout from scratch, most of the time you load an layout in an existing AEDB file. This page shows how to load a layout in EDB and start manipulating objects.

from pyedb import Edb
from pyedb.generic.general_methods import generate_unique_folder_name
import pyedb.misc.downloads as downloads

temp_folder = generate_unique_folder_name()
targetfile = downloads.download_file("edb/ANSYS-HSD_V1.aedb", destination=temp_folder)
edbapp = Edb(edbpath=targetfile, edbversion="2024.1")
