 Hi All,
 How to use the "derived layers" to check spacing between two layers ?
 I have the technology file code below, but it is not working, if I run DRD .
 I use IC6.1.5 .
 Please help .


;********************************
; LAYER DEFINITION
;********************************
layerDefinitions(
 techDerivedLayers(
  ( insideLayer            10014       ( VIA12 'inside METAL1 ) )
 ) ;techDerivedLayers
) ;layerDefinitions


;********************************;
 CONSTRAINT GROUPS
;********************************

constraintGroups(
  ( "foundry"    nil
    spacings(
     ( minSpacing                 "insideLayer"       12 )
    ) ;spacings
  ) ;foundry
) ;constraintGroups

    Hi Marben

    DRD support for derived layers starts in IC616. Your codes should work in IC616. Would you please switch to IC616-500-4?

    Marben,

    I've moved the thread. No need to re-post it (and anyway, Quek has answered it).
