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 ...

  •  Hi,

    "strminui" is a stand alone GUI for invoking the "strmin" binary that does the Stream In translation. As such it doesn't really have that many command-line arguments; you can force the mode, e.g. "strminui -64" for 64-bit, or "strminui -32" for 32-bit, but these are generic options. This GUI can be used to set the options for, and launch the the "strmin" binary.  So in IC61x you use "strmin", but in IC5141 and earlier this was performed by "pipo". As Andrew noted, the strminui standalone GUI is in IC613 but not in IC614.

     I hope this answers your question.
