Xstream and reference libraries

Kurtr

I'm trying to Import and Export Stream files of a hierarchical design, retaining Library name and cell name. Stream does not support library names, IC5.1 accomplished this through an option "Retain Reference Libraries" and the Design Data Reference manual has considerable information on the use of these options. For Importing and Exporting stream files in IC6.0 Xstream is used and there is no corresponding option, no mention of use of reference libraries in the Design Data Reference manual. There is a tab in the options page for cell mapping which could might allow something similar.

    I'm sure that it won't include the definitions of the cells from the reference libraries, and only the instantiations (the SREFs in stream-speak). Otherwise it would be no different from a normal library reference which would output both the master and the instantiation.

    On stream in, it gives search order to find those cells which aren't defined within the stream file.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
