Packed Cell Cellmate Bypass Cross Row

Gallery / Serpentine Layout

The packed-cell cell-mate bypass where the bypassing line's source is itself a member of the packed cell, and the target sits a row below and a column over rather than sharing the source's row. The default L-shape's source-row leg used to run the full row width before turning, cutting straight through the source's own cell-mate. When the gap between the source and cell-mate is clear the route drops through it in one straight channel and turns along the target row (PR #1405).
