Print high-resolution layout image in cadence virtuoso

srour

Hello gentlemen,

I apologize for the inconvenience or inappropriate writing, because it is my first time to writein the community,

I work on a project and I want to get high resolution image from the layout so I have printed it instead of export png  by .cdsplotinit file with extension .ps or .ps then I convert it to pdf from any website,the problem that the pdf shows the layout duplicated two layouts over each other i have tried this on the schematic and no problem has occured

.cdsplotinit file is 

I'm using IC6.1.7-64b.78

.cdsplotinit code file 

I have converted the file from .ps to .pdf by using this website

  cloudconvert   

.ps and .pdf files

    First of all, the forum guidelines (that I mentioned elsewhere) specifically ask you not to use proprietary formats like "rar". This is not universally available - better to use standard utilities (usually shipped with the OS) such as tar, zip, gzip, bzip2.

    I didn't know which of the many printers in your .cdsplotinit you were using - I picked PDF_3000dpi and the resulting PostScript was fine. I was using the same version of the tools you were.

    I can see your PostScript has these overlapping shapes - however, I don't know whether that's just because the layout itself is wrong - not everything is overlapped.

    So, I'd suggest:

    1. You check with a newer version - you're using the base release (no hotfixes) of IC6.1.7 and your release is 5.5 years old. I didn't find any reports of the issue you're seeing, but the first thing you should check whether you can reproduce in a newer version.
    2. Check the layout itself - is there something wrong with that?
    3. If the problem is still reproducible with the latest versions, contact customer support (with the info on which of the .cdsplotinit printers you used).

    First, thank you for your time

    second, I found that it prints two layouts one is the cell view and the second is the zoomed view I see in front of me so I zoomed it out and  solve the problem until i update my version of tools

    Strange. I just tried to reproduce that, but couldn't - no matter what I did, the PostScript looked OK.

    Anyway, you have a workaround now, at least.
