Modgen not working with multiplier in RAK examples

Hi,

I am trying to run the Rapid Adoption Kit (RAK) examples on using modgen for layout generation. However, the multiplier in the transistor instances is not being considered when generating the modgen layout.  I tried couple of different RAK examples and see the same issue. These examples are downloaded from the Cadence site and use the gpdk045 that comes with the example zip. The tool behavior is different than shown in the RAK document and I am not able to replicate the results in the RAK. Can anyone please advise?

The details and screenshot is included below.

Cadence version used: IC6.1.8-64b.500.34

RAKs used: Rapid Analog Prototyping Workshop and IC Front-To-Back Overview. Both are designed for IC6.1.8.

In this screenshot, PM6 has m=4, PM1 and PM3 have m=10, but they create only one transistor each in the modgen Editor.

  I see the same issue with the other RAK design example.

    Got it to work after changing Layout XL options (screenshot attached).
