Unable to open schematic files in virtuoso

Abhilash  K N

Hi,

I was trying to copy some schematic files from  user A account to other user B (me) account in the same group, during the process cds.lib of user A was somehow changed and it is eventually fixed but the problem after that is we are unable to open schematic files in user A as it shows no size and no symbol etc. Attached is the screenshot of library manager for reference.

Is there something problem withe technology file association?

Please help me fix this.

Thankyou.

    Can you do an "ls -al /path/to/suresh thesis/NOTGATE3/schematic" and same for symbol? If the files aren't there for user B, it's hard to see how he can open the cellView. The files would have a .oa suffix (not prefix) eg sch.oa as well as master.tag.  If you've lost the files, that was presumably because of incorrect UNIX commands and you'll either need to find them yourself somehow or restore from backup.
