RVE CN command equivalent to PVS

 Hi,

 

Were currently swithing from using Calibre RVE to PVS.

Do someone of you know the equivalent value of the "CN" in the .db file of RVE into PVS?, by the way the CN means Cell name wich basically used liked this:

CN subcellA        <-- this denotes that the coordinates below are in the subcellA

-370 2310 -370 2290

 Thanks,

 

Joren

     HI Andrew,

     

    Thanks for your quick response,

     I was able to have a CN value now in the output .db fle

    using the : cell_name -drc yes -cellspace -xform

    and the output is:

    CN plc_x1quad c 1 0 0 1 27060 41195

    3340 1490

    2828 875

    5372 875

    4860 1490

    3340 1490

    2828 875

     

    Just a follow up question.

    How come that if using "cell_name -drc yes -cellspace" (w/o -xform) the output will be like this:

     output2:

     CN plc_x1quad c 

    3340 1490

    2828 875

    5372 875

    4860 1490

    3340 1490

    2828 875

    5372 875

    4860 1490

     

    and loading it in RVE will have hierarchical result while in PVS the result is flat and the coordinates in the given cellname in CN points to a wrong place since its reading the coordinates in Flat or in top cell.

    is theres a way that without using "-xform" the output shown above in output2 will be loaded correctly in PVS just like in RVE?.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Joren
