Virtuoso layout: How to change many shapes from one layer to another at once?

Hi all,

This may be a dumb question. But for example: how can I change hundreds of shapes in Metal1 to Metal2 in an easy way? I am using IC61. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

    Hi Andrew,

    THe error message of DRC is 

    ERROR (AVVSI-10001): Input layout is incomplete. If you still want to continue the run, remove undefined placements from the layout or set '?errorOnMissingMaster nil' option in the RSF-file. (The default value of parameter '?errorOnMissingMaster' is 't'.)

    *WARNING* Error while building the VDB

    *WARNING* Failed to build VDB. Cannot submit DRC Run.

    However I don't really find any undefined shapes or instances. If I run DRC again, Cadence will crash. Here I attach the crash report log. Thanks for your time.

    Best regards,
