setting QRC UI in Virtuoso layout editor

archive
archive over 16 years ago

 Hi,

I am using QRC (EXT8.1 version) for extraction. I have set the
QRC_HOME varible properly. In the $path I set this varible before CDS_HOME. When I open Layout editor, I am not seeing
QRC tab in the GUI.

I want to see QRC in the Layout editor.

Is any seetings I need to do?

Please help me

Thanks in advance
Chaitanya.

    Which IC version are you using? You need to be using:

        5.1.41_ISR: 5.10.41.500.5.123

        5.1.41_USR6: 5.10.41_USR6.10

        6.1.1_ISR : IC6.1.1.500.59

        6.1.2_ISR : IC6.1.2.500.17

     or later.

    Also you must not have ASSURAHOME set, otherwise the QRC menu does not appear, and instead you access it via Assura->QRC

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Can you get the QRC menu in EXT7.1 also or just for EXT8.1? I am using IC sub-version 5.10.41.500.5.128 and I have to launch QRC by Assura->Run RCX after setting QRC_ENABLE_EXTRACTION="t"

     The QRC menu is only supported from EXT81 onwards, AFAIK.

    Thanks for the suggestions andrew.

     Does IC 5.1.41_USR5  support EXT8.1?

     Thanks,

    Chaitanya.

    I believe so, but you won't get the QRC menu unless you use a later IC version than USR5, as I said earlier... the first version was .5.123 which is an ISR after USR5 (that's what the 5 means in the version number).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
