Importing .gds file in virtuoso

RFStuff over 11 years ago

Dear All,

I have got a .gds file from a foundry person. Basically, it has some ERC errors locations markers in the layout in it.

When I tried it to stream in, I found the follwing errors.

FATAL (299): Stream In is unable to find the structure definition for the primary cell in the stream file. Ensure that you have specified the correct values with the Primary Cell and Input Stream File options.

I don't know how to fix this. Can anybody please tell how to see the layout in the .gds file.

Kind Regards,

Sounds like you got the top cell name wrong. Can you just omit the top cell name and then it should stream the entire file in.

Regards,
Andrew
