create an auCdl view (IC5.1.41)

Hi,

I want to create an auCdl view of an nfet cell to allow proper auCdl netlisting of my design. I read in the ADE user guide the instructions to create an auCdl view. It's said to create a config view using the auCdl configuration template. However, in the template cyclic field the auCdl template is missing.

 Could anybody help me about the configuration settings for an auCdl config view ? 

 Thanks!!

 K.C.

    You don't need to create a hierarchy editor template (assuming that's what you're talking about) to allow auCdl netlisting. All you need to do is to copy the symbol of your nfet to a view called "auCdl" (to act as the stopping view) and then edit the Base CDF for your nfet cell to ensure it has the auCdl simulation information set up (and looking at nmos4 in analogLib as a basis would be a good start).

    The hierarchy editor template is only needed if you're going to netlist from a config view - and even then it's not required. You only need a template if you want to make life easier for a user so they don't have to specify the default switch and stop list for the config when they create it - but since you don't need a config to netlist to auCdl, this is probably overkill...
