@chenchienjacklin Did you confirm that the links to objects in the documentation strings aren't broken by these changes? Some areas refer to the objects by their full path, which I would imagine would no longer work with these change. For example, in database.py the method top_circuit_cells contains the string <ansys.edb.core.layout.Cell>. I believe this would now need to be changed to <ansys.edb.core.layout.cell.Cell>?

@hiro727 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that you found that we can avoid using full paths in the doc strings by just using :class:. followed by the class name like this?:

:class:`.Cell`

@drewm102 yes, see some examples here

@chenchienjacklin you'll also need to adjust the entry .rst files. currently the top level docs are also empty
