"*.SCALE" is not supported. Use ".OPTION SCALE" instead

Hi

I am running the PVS LVS through the skill scripts and getting the below mentioned warning message on my unix terminal:

"WARNING (NVN-13003): "*.SCALE" is not supported. Use ".OPTION SCALE" instead or specify  'lvs_cdn_flow_options -cdl_use_scale' in the rule file."

While I run the LVS from the PVS GUI, I don't get this warning in the unix terminal, but lvs report file has this warning .

Could you please tell me that how to fix this warning message.

PVS version used: 19.12-64b, virtuoso: 6.1.8-64b

Thanks and Regards

Saurabh

    For me, it appears in the log when running from the UI too. If however, I add some additional PVL rule file containing:

    lvs_cdn_flow_options -cdl_use_scale

    then the warning goes away. Perhaps you have this in the PVL when running from the UI?
