saveDerived in Assura doesn't work

Hi,

 I am trying to generate fill structures using Assura DRC and therefore want to output the derived layer to somewhere. I am trying to use the saveDerived rule to save it to the extracted view:

  saveDerived( m2fill ("m2fill" "drawing" ) ext_view ) 

 But nothing happens. I tried copyGraphics(), and that one works:

  copyGraphics( ( "met2" "drawing" ) all )

However, it can only be used on original graphics layers, not derived ones.

What's wrong? Do I have to set certain switches, is there a typo anywhere or what else? The saveDerived rule doesn't even appear in the log (all the other rules do).

 I am using 5.1.41.

Any help is greatly welcome.

Kind regards,

  Ingo.

    Ingo, In Assura DRC saveDerived doesn't work. If you want to use saveDerived command then you should run from verify->DRC but here it will derive in that particular layout itself. Or if you want to use Assura to save in other layout you have to use RSF (RUN SPECIFIC FILE) where you can use "outfile" command to dump the extracted layers. Here you have to give new output library name. Hope it will help you. Regards, Amit
