PDK menu not showing in CIW

wgtkan

Hello:

After updating to IC6.1.7-64b.500.12. I am having an issue where the PDK menu is not showing up in the command Interpreter Window. I didn’t have any problem with the previous version of IC6.1.7-64b.500.10.

Instead of the PDK menu showing in the CIW like this:

The menu disappears from the CIW like this:  

The PDK menu must show in the CIW. That is the only way I am able to create a new library. 

Thank you so much

    It also appears to be a different PDK version. Since this is something that's in the customisation for the PDK (this "ibmPdkMenu.def" is presumably some infrastructure they've created to define menus) rather than a standard Virtuoso capability, you should contact Global Foundries about this. Potentially Cadence customer support could help too - at least to identify the problem. Without access to the specific PDK (which I don't have access to without requesting it, which normally needs to be tied to a specific customer enquiry), I can't really help. You might get lucky that somebody else has the same problem, but best to contact the foundry since it's their code.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
