Pin placement is giving me trouble

helloIamAndrea
helloIamAndrea over 5 years ago

Good evening,

i am trying to automatically place pins in the layout XL enviroment using the Place->Analog->adjust cell pins. But as you can see in the picture below i am not obtaining great results: the automatic tool is placing the pin (the small blue dot at the center of the picture) outside the metal drawing of the net. To me it seems like the tool is placing the pin at the center of an hipotetic big square. I've tried to use the tool place-> Pin Placement and setting the edge as level-1 pin, but it's not working. What i would like to do is to automatically place the pins on its metal drawing, possibily matching the geometry.

I've tried to consult the manuals and the help, but i am able to solve the problem. Do you have any tips?

i am using virtuoso 6.1.7

Many thanks

Best Regards,

Andrea
