Basic Libraries Not Showing up

David0618

Dear Community,

I just started trying out Cadence Virtuoso. I am having trouble including basic libraries like AnalogLib - please see screenshot below: 

How would I go about adding the libraries?

Thanks.

    Add these lines into your cds.lib :

    DEFINE analogLib $(inst_root_with:tools/dfII/bin/virtuoso)/tools/dfII/etc/cdslib/artist/analogLib
    DEFINE basic $(inst_root_with:tools/dfII/bin/virtuoso)/tools/dfII/etc/cdslib/basic

    or add:

    INCLUDE $(inst_root_with:tools/dfII/bin/virtuoso)/share/cdssetup/cds.lib

    which includes a reasonable set of default libraries.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
