Hi, I have a TOP cell, which is FPR624_CTRL.gds Now I want to change this to GPR624_CTRL.gds including internal cells also (hierarchy cells also). After changing the TOP cell name if i do strings GPR624_CTRL.gds Internal cells are still having the name starting with FPR624_*. Is there any solution how can i change the internal cells also. Thanks, Sathisha

    Hi Sathisha

    Perhaps this is not what you are looking for but the easiest method which I can think of is to stream in the file using Virtuoso, rename the top cell and then stream out the file again.

    By the way, I found this using google. Just for your information. I am also not very sure how it works.
