pin placement Level-1 pins

DaveHelsen
DaveHelsen over 6 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to move the pins off Level-1 to the same position as the top-level.

When I start the Pin Placement, and select the soft-block I see the pins...

Now the when I want to move to edge "Top-level route" I get an error in the ciw

error = "the option to snap level-1 pins to top-level routes is disabled. Enable the option and try again"

Can someone tell me were to enable this?

kind regards

Dave

    Hi Dave,

    From a very quick search, this is something that may be resolved by using IC618 (or ICADVM181) rather than IC617/ICADV123. Which version are you using?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    IC617, you think it's an error / missing function. I can check with CAD if we can have a test case for this.

    I believe in IC617 this requires access to a pre-release capability which needs a special incubation license to enable. Might you be able to try with IC618 to see if it's resolved there?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
