LVS - not compared, number of port 0 in layout

ISHITA AGGARWAL

Hello,

so after making layouts, when I try to run DRC and LVS chceks, DRC runs successfully without any errors, but when i try to run LVS for the same layout, it shows an error which says "not compared" and the number of ports are shown as 0 for layout.

Can you please help me resolve this issue. Awaiting response.

Thank you.

    Calibre is a tool from Siemens EDA (formerly Mentor Graphics), not Cadence. As such, this is not really the best place to ask about issues with another vendor's tool - perhaps you should contact their customer support or post the question on one of their forums?

    Regards,
