Import Stream (GDSII) from Encounter: Routing is dropped. (XSTRM-58)

Hi,

I am using IC614, and trying to import the .gds generated in Encounter into virtuoso layout. The layer mapping file (streamout.map) from Encounter is also loaded. After the stream translating, a large amount of XSTRM-58 warnings show up, and most of them are related to the via layers, like follows:

===========================================

 INFO (XSTRM-220): 1. Translating STRUCTURE PRtest_VIA0 as cellView cmrf7sf_standard_cell/PRtest_VIA0/layout

WARNING (XSTRM-58): Failed to create the new layer purpose pair 'M1:VIA'. It will be skipped and all the shapes on this LPP will be dropped.

WARNING (XSTRM-58): Failed to create the new layer purpose pair 'M2:VIA'. It will be skipped and all the shapes on this LPP will be dropped.

WARNING (XSTRM-58): Failed to create the new layer purpose pair 'V1:VIA'. It will be skipped and all the shapes on this LPP will be dropped.

INFO (XSTRM-220): 2. Translating STRUCTURE PRtest_VIA1 as cellView cmrf7sf_standard_cell/PRtest_VIA1/layout

WARNING (XSTRM-58): Failed to create the new layer purpose pair 'M2:VIA'. It will be skipped and all the shapes on this LPP will be dropped.

WARNING (XSTRM-58): Failed to create the new layer purpose pair 'M3:VIA'. It will be skipped and all the shapes on this LPP will be dropped.

WARNING (XSTRM-58): Failed to create the new layer purpose pair 'V2:VIA'. It will be skipped and all the shapes on this LPP will be dropped.

..............................
==========================================
As result,  the translated layout has only standard cell instances, and all routed wires and power rings are dropped. Any advices to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Quek,

    I addressed them to

    ===================

    prBoundary label 127 0

    prBoundary drawing 128 0

    prBoundary drawing 129 0 

    ===================

    It seems working for me. At least no warnings. I guess I will just leave it be as long as no further problem is observed. Thanks again for your kindly helps.

    Best regards,
