Hierarchy Editor - How to use library list

Atul Dubey
Atul Dubey over 10 years ago

Hello,

I was trying to understand how library list (GUI field above switch view and stop view list) works in hierarchy editor. I did few experiment but could not understand its usage. I always needs to define a library to the cds.lib file and hierarchy editor can use that to find the cells used in the design schematic.

Can someone please explain it through an example how library list is used in hierarchy editor?

I understood from a previous post that it is used for finding cells for textual views live verilog view, But i could not make it work because for a verilog view to compile properly in virtuoso user needs to have the library in cds.lib ( no matter you have it in library list or not).

    Dear Andrew,

    I apologize for my error and misunderstanding. I do appreciate you taking the time to clarify the difference in library binding when invoking schematic and verilog views. I hope it helps Etul resolve his issue.

    Sorry!

    Shawn
