Virtuoso Schematic Editor - can't insert instance

 Hello,

I've just installed IC615 and try to check its functionnality.

1. In Library Manager I created  new library TEST_LIB

2. In TEST_LIB I created the cell test_cell1 with cellview schematic

3. In opened Viruoso Schematic Editor L I try to add a new instance - from one of standart libraries (basic, functional, etc.), doing Create/Instance. But none window appears. Moreover - window New File (where I specified cell properties) remains opened and doesn't disappear when I click on OK or Cancel.

Where is a problem.

Thanks in advance.

Pavel.

P.S. I wanted to attach an image file that demonstrates the problem, but it seems that there is no such possibility ... only from URL, but how to use it if my image is somwhere in filesystem, but not on URL.

    You can attach pictures by going onto the Options tab when posting, and can then add attachments.

    Were there any messages in the CIW when the problem occurred?

    Which subversion of IC615 are you using (Help->About will tell you this).

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Hello Andrew. Thank you for response.

    Here is content of CIW:

     

    *WARNING* The display packet information '90' for 'display' was not found.

    Loading vb.cxt

    ddCreateLib: Creating a new cds.lib file at '/home/Pavel/Projects/PIXIE-III/cds.lib'.

     

    Library Manager created library "TEST_LIB"; doing technology file query.

    *WARNING* (TECH-2000021): techSetTechFileName is obsolete.

     

    Library Manager new cellview request for cell "TEST_LIB test_cell1".

     

    Library Manager new cellview request for library "TEST_LIB".

     

    When I click Help->About nothing happens.

     

    Regards.

    Maybe you should try posting your CDS.log file that should be in your home directory.

    There should be more stuff there...

     I closed everything and rerun virtuoso. The problem disappeared.

    Thanks.
