Hierarchically Layer generation

Hi,

I need to generate a layer starting from other layers placed hierarchicaly in my layout, I used "layer generation" from layout menu but it works only in the cellview, I tried using skill commands but I don't know how I can get all layers from the instances placed in my cellview, off course my layout has many pcell placed.

Grazie,

Giuseppe

    1. It seems obvious from the context of this thread that I am using IC5.1.41.  That is the only version that CCShierLayerOps.il will run on. 

    2. What functions I am using?  I downloaded and installed CCShierLayerOps.il from the link provided above.  I am trying to use  CCShierLayerOps.il.

    3. Does it really matter what kind of logic is being used?  It shouldn't, but just in case, I am doing: Active AND NOT Pplus == Nplus.

    4. I wasn't bragging about my UltraSparc IIIi.  I know there are faster processors.  I only mentioned it because I figured that whomever answered would have said 'it might help if you said what processor you are using'.

    5. The one thing that I forgot to say and that I thought for certain you would ask is the depth of hierarchy.  My DOH is 8.

    6. By the way, after 6 hours this got no where and I had to kill it.   I was hoping someone could have said 'yeah, that's going to take 20+ hours'.  Then I can plan accordingly.

    Regards, Zach
