devices parameters are changed are cdb2oa conversion

Hi, i have converted a library from cdb2oa and there is a weird issue.

Devices that are standalone, do not have any multiplier defined are not affected and the layout views are not blown up.

However, devices that have multiplier defined have their parameters changed. For e.g.: device with multiplier 3 now appears as a device with length 3x of original but multiplier as 1.

Also, devices in series (or stacked devices) are merged in certain layouts.

Any insights with this issue will be valuable.

Thanks a lot.

    I've never seen this before (and to be honest, I can't see how cdb2oa could do this itself) - my guess is that maybe there's a PDK incompatibility between the CDB and OA versions (I don't know though).

    What you should do is contact customer support so that we can take a look at the data in more detail to explain this very odd behaviour.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
