problem: W and L of a transistor not shown in edit-> object-> properties

When editing a transistor in schematic editor L (version 615), the width (w) and length (l) are not shown in the form so that they can not be changed. The CDF parameters shown are M gates per device, maskLayoutViewName, parasitic calculation.

 Then from CIW -> tools ->CDF->edit..., it is found that, for that transistor, in the "Display Condition" column, for width,  XfabFormIsInToolDisplay (w) and for length, XfabFormIsInToolDisplay (l). I tried to delete them but did not solve the problem.

 Xfab is the technology. 

Anyone knows the issue?

Thanks!

    Hi Lawrence,

    Thanks. I haven't tried your suggestion, but later I realized xfab has a PDK for Cadence. Once I downloaded and installed the PDK, everything seems working fine. Now the w and l are shown in the property form and they can be edited without problem. Previously I just individually added the libraries and that seems problematic.

    Best regards
