Cadence IC613: Problem in importing GDS2 file

iamlearning

Hi all,

I am facing a problem in importing GDS2 files in Cadence IC6.1.3.1. I can stream out a layout by 'CIW->File->export->stream' , but the 'stream in' fails when I try CIW->File->import->stream. No 'stream in' form or sub window appears and the CDS.log file notes the follwoing message:

 ...............

\a pipoDisplay(transStreamInForm)
\o Loading transUI.cxt
\o XStream/strminui is running (PID = ipc:2 )...
\r nil
\o
\o  XStream failed

.................

Can anyone please tell me what could be the possible solution of this problem?

Thank You,

Regards ...

    There's not a whole lot of information to go on here!  Perhaps try saving all of the opitions to a file and then invoking strmin from the command line to see if you get more feedback or a log file. Have you checked that the machine has the appropriate setup, using the checkSysConf utility? - this is a good thing to check.  You might need to file a Service Request with Customer Support.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
