Three problems,about stream out and IC61 plot

bobbygang

Hi,
 I met three problems in recent work.
1. The cell in the gds which stream out from virtuoso will lose its name, instead, the name will become a number. The multiple transistor will become separate ones.  Is there any way to stream out cell with its name before？
2. After streaming out the through hole and contact becomes a cell. So the net name through it will become two different ones.
3. In IC61, I can't find "close all" banner in graph window. How can I let it work?

I'd appreciate if someone could help me.

Best Regards,
Bobby

    Bobby,

    1. No
    2. I don't really see why it should not be able to reconstruct the connectivity (assuming you're using layoutXL). You probably need to use the via map capability in the stream interface; that way it can map back the cells created for the vias (this is a similar problem to pcells; there's no such thing as a "via" in the stream format) into vias recognized by virtuoso again.
    3. In IC614 there doesn't seem to be a File->Close All menu (rather oddly, since it was in wavescan in IC5141 - although not in AWD). This bit of SKILL can be used though:

      procedure(MYcloseAllGraphWindows()
        foreach(win hiGetWindowList()
          when(awvIsPlotWindow(win)
            awvCloseWindow(win)
          )
        )
        t
      )

     Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
