How to open old version state in the current version IC61.

You can start ADE with AMS as the simulator (for the config you have set up), and then use Session->Load State to load as much as it can from the spectreVerilog-based state. You can then save your new state (if ADE L) or maestro view depending on which ADE flavour you're running.

Since the simulators are fairly different, it's going to be incomplete though - it will probably take the variables, models and analysis setup OK, but any special simulation options will need to be tweaked.

Due to no spectreVerilog simulator in the loading state, spectreVerilog states will not show up as options for me to select.

I can see those states using ams simulator or spectre simulator, but not states using spectreVerilog simulator.

This works for me - if I use the Setup->Load State, when my simulator is "ams", I am able to pick the simulator to load a state from as "spectreVerilog" whether I am loading a state from a directory or from a cellView. I'm using IC617 ISR18 which you mentioned in your other post that you were using, together with INCISIVE152.

That said, I did have a problem with loading the state from a directory when using ADE Explorer - the "What to Load" ended up blank for everything. Was OK loading a state cellVIew, and also loading the state into ADE L first worked.

Which ADE are you using? ADE L,XL,Explorer or Assembler? It didn't sound from your description if that was what you were talking about though.

I use ADE L to load state. I can select different cell and simulator will automatically change to relating simulator. However, this is works for ams and spectre, but not spctreVerilog. 

What I am trying to load is Tran in cell Receiver_tb, but it did not show the state name for selecting.

By the way, there is only ams as option for simulator. It changes to spectre when I select another cell which uses spectre simulator, but I cannot change simulator manually.

I tried to use Cellview Options to open this state and, fortunately, it works.

I also tried to use ADE Explorer to open this state by creating maestro firstly. 

The Error in CIW is showing below indicating there is no spectreVerilog simulator.

Then I tried again, and it shows:

*Error* error: Cannot find a setup database entry for handle 0. -nil

Thus, the only way now I can open spectreVerilog is to use Cellview Options rather than using Directory Options.

First of all, are you sure that the state directory actually exists? It will not show spectreVerilog as a choice for simulator if there is no state with that name.

So try doing:

ls ~/.artist_states/NFC_wiren/Receiver_tb

My guess is that you don't have any states in that directory that you can load.

Secondly, if you just try to take an existing spectreVerilog state cellView and try to do a "Open with" ADE Explorer, then it will (of course) produce the error you show - it would try to keep the same simulator, and since that's not supported, you'll get an error. What I was suggesting was to create a new maestro view for the test bench and then do a Setup->Load State within that to load the spectreVerilog state cellView (just as you managed to do with ADE L).

Anyway, it sounds as if you have a way forward by loading cellView states.
