Release of IC614

Quek

Hi Everyone

IC614 has just been released. It includes the following great features:

a. On-canvas schematic editing
b. Smart ruler markings that are editable and can be saved
c. User-defined via variants
d. Routing Integrated Development Environment for space-based router
e. Integration of layer selection panel to layout window
...
and many more.

Please download it at our downloads website and give it a try! : )

Best regards
Quek

  •  I sort of found a "fix". The first time I run IC614 in a clean directory, no menus which are created by the PDK context files show up. When I go to Library Path Editor and merge the cds.lib with the lib.defs which comes with my pdk, save it locally to ./cds.lib, close virtuoso and rerun, the menus are there. Can't really explain why the two are related, any idea Andrew?

     edit:

    does not having a cds.lib in my working dir cause this to happen by default? I built a new folder and instead of naming the library file lib.defs i called it cds.lib and everything worked normally.

     Edit #2:

    I guess if I had bothered to read the f...... manual I would have figured this out earlier:

    Support for lib.defs Library Definition File Removed
    The only supported format now is cds.lib. A new CdsLib plugin (release 31.09) allows for
    OpenAccess applications to read cds.lib files, where previously they required to use
    lib.defs. For more information about the CdsLib plugin, see Migrating lib.defs to cds.lib
    Using the CdsLib Plugin in the Virtuoso Design Environment Migration Guide.

    I was only using lib.defs, I suppose that when virtuoso didn't find a cds.lib in my working directory it copied the template.
