| * ''lef_width'': if this is specified, then the LEF drawing rules for the metal layer will use this as the drawing width for routing. If it doesn't exist, then this is set to the minimum width. | * ''lef_width'': if this is specified, then the LEF drawing rules for the metal layer will use this as the drawing width for routing. If it doesn't exist, then this is set to the minimum width. |
| * ''pitch'': if this is specified, then all metal tracks are defined to snap to the specified pitch (left edge for vertical drawing, bottom edge for horizontal drawing). If unspecified, this is set to the ''lef_width'' plus minimum spacing. | * ''pitch'': if this is specified, then all metal tracks are defined to snap to the specified pitch (left edge for vertical drawing, bottom edge for horizontal drawing). If unspecified, this is set to the ''lef_width'' plus minimum spacing. |
| * The centerline for the routing tracks defined are spaced by the pitch, and the centerline is offset by ''lef_width''/2. Make sure that ''lef_width''/2 is a value that results in edges that lie on the manufacturing grid (defined in the [[config:netlist|LEF/DEF configuration section]]). Otherwise, the place and route tools will be very upset. | * The centerline for the routing tracks defined are spaced by the pitch, and the centerline is offset by ''lef_width''/2.

| * ''up'': minimum surround on the upper layer | * ''up'': minimum surround on the upper layer |
| * ''asym_up'': minimum surround on two opposite sides; if this is different (and larger) than ''up'', then this corresponds to having an asymmetric contact. If this is equal to ''up'', then it corresponds to a symmetric contact. | * ''asym_up'': minimum surround on two opposite sides; if this is different (and larger) than ''up'', then this corresponds to having an asymmetric contact. |

| * Setting both ''asym_up'' and ''asym_dn'' to zero implies that the vias have symmetric surround. | * Setting both ''asym_up'' and ''asym_dn'' to zero implies that the vias have symmetric surround, and the ''up'' and ''dn'' parameters are used to determine the surround value. If either of the ''asym'' parameters are non-zero, then we assume that we are using asymmetric vias and the ''asym'' parameters are used. |
