Calibre and Assura missing from my layout menu

Calibre and Assura menu is missing from my layout window. The PDK came with no configuration tempelates (.cdsinit or .cdsenv). I read the documentation but couldn’t find any help. What should I do to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

    Dracula is part of the IC stream so that's nothing to do with this - you get Dracula anyway. It's a completely different physical verification tool.

    There's no such thing as "ASSURA 631" so I don't know what you mean. You'd need an ASSURA41 release built for IC614 (that is a very old Virtuoso version - that's the "base" version of IC614, which was released in November 2009 - and doesn't have any hotfixes at all). I would strongly recommend against you using an almost 6-year old base release - when there have been two major releases since then too.

    Anyway, there are on downloads.cadence.com a couple of ASSURA41 releases intended for use with IC614:

    16 Dec 2010 ASSURA04.12.001, Version: ASSURA41USR2OA_614  

    14 Jun 2012 ASSURA04.12.017, Version: ASSURA41USR2HF17OA_614  

    The second of these is a hotfix release - so I'd go for that.

    I've no idea what you've installed, so can't really tell whether it would work or not.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
