Illegal hierarchical connection

MontyP

I'm getting huge numbers of the message:

 Warning: Illegal hierarchical connection to internal net between instance......

 

I can't understand why these warning boxes are even there but so many?!

Even when I'm connecting to the pin I still often get the warning box hassles.  

Why would Cadence do this to layout people? It seems to be drastically overdone!

  • Andrew,

    I'm talking about the standard layout tool VXL. I'd like to tell  you the version but this information is hidden so well that I am unable to discover this data.

    VXL seems to want a metal connection to be at the pin only. I think the warning should be in a layer other than the same one that shows a short so I can tell the difference. Of course I prefer to have no such warning in the first place.
