Import LEF file failed due to layermap

TzuYun Chang
TzuYun Chang 10 months ago

Hi,

I have a LEF file with simple definitions of pad design which uses M8, M9, and AP layers. However, I failed to import the design with CIW > Import > LEF... as I encountered "ERROR: (OALEFDEF-90019): Ignoring the line 30 in the layer map file ... as it contains a syntax error. Each entry in the layer map file must have two values, LEFLayerName and OALayerNumber separated by a blank space." All lines in the file report the same OALEFDEF-90019 error.

The tech.layermap file looks like this:


# techLayer       techPurpose     stream# dataType
