PVS requires pin Label to pass the LVS

Senan

Hello,

I am newly shifted to the PVS tools of Cadence,  and I used to have Assura.

I am facing an issue of running the LVS from the PVS, that is it reuires me to add labels for my pins, otherwise, a mismatching will give. this situation never faced when I dealt with Assura before. is there any way to switch off this check,

I am using PVS version 19.10

Thank you in advance

Regards

    You were probably using Assura based on the OpenAccess database rather than stream (GDS) format. PVS really needs the labels to identify pins. For more information see Understanding how PVS processes text / labels / pins and FAQs
