WaveMaker Layout features:
- xlock points entered to the grid, or, to an angle relative to the last point
- define structures 1 nm wide, 1 meter long, or, anything in between
- locate patterns on any or several of the 64 layers available
- rotate, or, flip selected shapes at any angle (e.g. 1.2345 degrees)
- delete, copy, or, array selected objects (paths, polygons and cells)
- polygon merge, slice, cutout and oversize (as in over/under expose)

- drag selected shapes: on dropping them, have them snap into place
- generate array auto-numbering (e.g. for chip numbering)
- hop from cell to cell, creating designs with up to 20 hierarchy levels
- clip together structures, to create an integrated optics circuit layout
- view the last 300 commands and system messages
- UNDO the effects of the previous command (not all commands)
- get help on commands using the hypertext help system
- display the co-ordinates of selected polygons

- set the Y/X viewing aspect ratio from
- ... with the option of having different values in the X and Y direction 0.001 to 1000.0
- define the functions associated with the mouse and F keys
- snap to nearest point on nearest line, to vertex or line centre
- ... with the option of going down cell hierarchy or not

- toggle between full screen and split screen representation
- ... with each screen being in either graphics, or, text display mode
- define layer colours, names, fill styles and display status (ON or OFF)
- save the current system configuration for re-use at a later date
- access a text file editor, capable of editing two files side by side

- run user defined files, containing WaveMaker command sequences
- add user-defined functions in interpreted BASIC
- re-arrange the location of commands within menus to suit you
- create raster scan Gerber output simulate Gerber exposure
- export drilling information, in the Excellon format
- export data in the Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) format

- create a laser plot to the resolution of the laser printer
- import and export data in HP-GL, DXF, IGES, Gerber, GDS II formats
- simulate Gerber photo-tool exposure
- switch window display to monochrome mode, prior to screen capture
- remove the menus and define the window caption
