Assura Rules file debuging

jmoore

Hi. 

I have a design rule mod I have been using for years to calculate a certain transistor geometry and after moving to a new design kit and version of Assura I am getting:

ERROR Text can't attach to layer: substrate is not connected.
WARNING LVS Run detected.
Non-legacy mode has been disabled for this LVS run
WARNING Errors exist in rules file so this program cannot continue.
Errors exist in the rules file '/opt/cad/IBM_PDK/cmrf8sf/V1.7.0.2DM/Assura/LVS/extract32.rul'.

virtuoso version: IC6.1.4.500.11
assura version av4.1:Production:dfII6.1.3:IC6.1.3.500.15 10/08/2010 03:04 (sfrh50)

Is their a way to increase the debug level in Assura such that it will tell you where in the rules file it is running in to problems? I already have the verbose and strict switches set.

    Hi Zach,

    You are great. Thanks for your answer since I was encountered this problem today and I found your answer. It really helps me. I start IC5.1.4 two years ago, and later update to IC6.1.4, which is currently I'm using. The old file was created two years ago, and did not be covered by a new file. It is strange. Anyway, thanks again.
