How to apply the instance name used in the schematic to the same mosfet in layout?

MB202506119828

Virtuoso Schematic XL and Layout XL.

I'm an experienced IC designer, getting acquainted with this new tool set.

How can I assign and make visible the instance name for each of the mosfets in my layout? I don't see the Names displayed in the layout, even though they are assigned and visible in the schematic.

Here's what I have done ...

For a simple mosfet, I open the Q window, and assign the Instance Name identical to the name from the schematic. No problem.

But I cannot see that Name in the Layout.

In the Layout window, I have asserted the Options->Display --> Show Name of Instance radio button activated.

Still don't see it.

It does seem to me that each device name should be associated with the Poly Gate sitting between the S/D diffusions.

My sincere Thanks to the community members, who reply.

  • Again, my sincerest thanks to the correspondents, here.

    It appears that my LVS, and a few other downstream problems, are caused by the CADENCE installation, which I am using at this institution, not being properly licensed. It appears to be server-specific. 

    But this means that future inquiries are on hold until we fix this.

    Most gratefully,
