Auto PR Boundary Alignment in Custom Layout

kmshah93

Hi,

I am doing custom layout in Virtuouso & and for that purpose, I'll define some designs (as per standard cell rules) and instantiate them in the upper level layouts.

Now, when I instantiate any design in layout, I need to manually align their PR boundary for the neighboring cells.

Is there any way to automate this PR boundary aligning process in Virtuoso?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    you could define alignment constraints in the constraint manager  ( one of the assistants )   for your instances. These will be
    followed by Layout XL interactive editing. It's not that easy to describe that here so maybe have a look at the documentation about it.

    Constraints can be defined on the schematic or the layout side.

    There are also a bunch of alignment  commands available in the layout editor which can do the task quickly as well.
    Have the Alignment Toolbar active, select your instances and hit the horizontal/vertical alignment icon.

    Regards,

    Marc
