Layout Turbo Toolbox Setup

cA16

I'm use Virtuoso Layout Suite version IC6.1.5-64b.500.2 and will like to enable the turbo toolbox. Result i get warning as below

 *WARNING* (tb001002): Missing rules caused an error.
Run _leTbEnvValidator( <cellviewId> ) for details.
*WARNING* Turbo Toolbox will not work with the current design until its techfile is updated - (("*Error* Error"))

 May i know what i should do to resolve the problem and get the Turbo toolbox working well (as i need to use the auto contact function).

  • Hi cA16

    You can resolve the problem as follows:
    a. In your layout editor, go to "Options->Toolbox"
    b. In the toolbox form that appears, press "Rule file utility" button
    c. In the rule file utility form, select the correct layers and save it to the techfile

    In IC61, toolbox rules are saved to the techfile and so you will need write permission to the techfile in order to resolve this problem. Actually you do not have to use the auto-contact function from the toolbox. You can use the auto-via function from "Create->Via". Most of the toolbox functions have already been integrated into the layout editor. The toolbox will eventually be phased out.
