Hi Berti,
I am a circuit designer. I am familiar with traditional Virtuoso Layout Editor, but not Layout-XL. In the past 3 years, I found the layout engineers were using Layout-XL. I tried it for a current-steering layout myself 3 years ago.
I found sometimes it cannot speed up the work. For eg., I don't know how to put an current-source array using layout-XL.
I don't know the auto route in layout-XL. But it has some good points. It's easy for a designer to review the layout using layout-XL. It shows the connections of devices in layout-XL, which reduces the chance of an LVS error. Obviously it reduces the iteration of DRC and LVS.
Best Regards, Yawei
