Import from Synopsys IC Compiler to Virtuoso

MoMiner1870

Hello all, I have a full chip design in Synopsys IC Compiler.  

I need to import it into Virtuoso.  What is the best way to do this? GDSII or something else?

Thanks!

    It depends on what you want to do with it. LEF and DEF would retain more connectivity information, so that may be a better route than using Stream (aka GDSII).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
