Create an additional layer for layout

samer1

I want to create and additional layer for layout and define its design rules for a specific process technology that I will be working with. 

For example, I want to create a layer between M1 and M2.

Can someone direct me to what I should do?

    Hi Sherif

    >>> i used both 1200 in the techfile and the purpose map is just for consistency. they can be different since they belong to different tools and they are already connected through the gds number
    Yes, your understanding is correct. OA layer number is not related to the layer number in Calibre deck. You can use 1200 as the OA layer number and 12345678 in Calibre deck. It will still work.

    Actually I do not know anything about gds2gl1 and gl12gds files too. It would really be best for you to post the questions on Mentor forum.


    Best regards
