Create a simple abstract view from layout

RVERP

Hello,


I want to create an abstract view from an existing layout. This abstract view must contain only pins and the prBoundary.

Is there a simple way or tool in cadence to do this?

    Hi,

    we have the abstract generator for that purpose ( calling "abstract" from the commandline ), but calling it "simple"would be an understatement .
    It reads in your layout and will generate an abstract view.

    Best place to start is the user guide in the documentation:
    $CDSHOME/doc/abstract/abstract.pdf

    which describes the process in a tutorial with an example database which can be found here:
    $CDSHOME/tools.lnx86/dfII/samples/tutorials/abstract

    Regards,
    Marc
