Abstract: Come see an example of usage of the custom shape generation process provided for in RF Architect and Layout. A moderately complex code example that was used to replace 20 single RF components with a single custom shape component will be shown. RF layering will be discussed. The reasoning behind using the custom shapes for this design will be discussed. Future custom code possibilities will be discussed.
