Hi,
I get the follwing error while importing a .gds file in cadence IC 6.16

ERROR (XSTRM-80046): You are trying to modify the tech database, but the tech database is not writable. Check the tech database file and parent directory permissions.

What is tech database? How to fix this?

     Hi Andrew,

     i am facing an import issue too on IC616.

    i tried both k2 and streamin and both report the following:

    #1 streamin -  ***warning; skipping Unknown record [60] 

                             ***warning; Unexpected record length found 

                             ERROR (XSTRM-80048)

    #2 k2_viewer - ERROR: Record Type Token : 60

                               ERROR: word type 63 encountered. (only 0 - 3, 5 & 6 are valid)

     

    Not sure whats wrong.

    Thanks
