Exporting LEF format file from layout library

shushan

Hi All,

 

Can you please tell me if it is possible to export LEF file from the cells in current layout library in IC6.1.3? And if yes, how to do that or what other alternatives to use?Because it seems, that simple clicking on appropriate buttons don't give the desired/any result.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Shushanik

    If it is really hot, asking in a Community Forum is not the right place to do it. Go to Cadence Customer Support (http://support.cadence.com). The Community Forum is not a substitute for customer support - it is purely down to voluntary responses by the community (including a few of us from Cadence who do this in our spare time - for example, it is not part of my job to respond on these forums).

    My guess is that the cellViews you are trying to export are just arbitrary layout. Normally you need to have pin information on the layout, and boundaries and blockages and so on - usually things that will either have been created by hand using a tool such as Virtuoso Layout Suite XL, or by using the abstract generator.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
