Virtuoso XL 6.1.5.500.9 opens physConfig along with schematic

LongTimeNovice

Hi.  When I open a layout in XL and tell it that my connectivity reference is a particular schematic, it opens up that cell's schematic along with its physConfig view.  This view doesn't always match the non-XL schematic when no physConfig is loaded with it.  When we make changes to the schematic view, they don't always (maybe never) carry over into the physConfig.

 Why does  it do this?  Is there a way to force XL to open the schematic with no physConfig view, or is it possible to always have the physConfig view match the schematic?

 Thank you!

Steve.

  • Steve,

    The schematic is the same schematic, regardless of whether it is opened with a physConfig or not - all that affects is how the hierarchy will be traversed - and how VLS XL understands which physical view will be used for each instance, and so on. The actual schematic should not be affected - as I said, it's exactly the same schematic.

    I think you should contact customer support over this - it might be something odd to do with the design management you're using (the Version: [#] Checkedin bit is nothing to do with Cadence).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
