No Menus in Virtuoso (Cadence 6)

badry

 When I switched to Cadence 6, I cannot see any menus in Virtuoso Layout editor (i.e. the "File", "Edit", ..etc). I only get the "Launch" and "Calibre" menus.

 

Is it a known problem? Any solution for that?

 

Thanks

    Do you by any chance have $ASSURAHOME set and pointing to an installation of ASSURA intended for IC5141? If so, you'll need to install ASSURA (e.g. ASSURA41) for IC613 or IC614 (depending on which you're using) or if not using ASSURA, then do an "unsetenv ASSURAHOME" before launching virtuoso.

    If it's not this, then maybe you have some incompatible menu customization loaded. Check "cdswhich menus" to see if any menus directories are found. Also check in the CIW (and CDS.log) for any error messages when you open the layout window.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
