Cannot load layers in layout

Kabal
Kabal over 13 years ago

Out of nowhere I get this error in my status window when trying to open my layouts:

*WARNING* (GE-2125): Failed to get the manufacturing grid (mfgGridResolution) for the technology tech.db associated to the cellview test_lib/inv1/layout.

 

 I have no idea how come this appear? that tech.db file is in the design kit's folder of IBM kit, nothing was touched. I have tons of layouts which worked for me and I could open them and work on.

 

Any Idea what could get spoiled?

     Reference is different from Attach. If you reference a technology library you are using the incremental technology database approach - your library will then be a technology database itself, which will in turn reference another library - if  you dump the tech file for your library (which is stored in the tech.db file; attached libraries don't have these), you'll see it has any local overrides plus a reference link to the other technology library (or libraries).

    So that may be the reason why they all show up as technology libraries in the list?

    Hard to know without seeing - you may be best contacting customer support?
