Hierarchically Layer generation

gparasiliti

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

    Hi Subhabrata,

    Are you sure that you are using the correct name for the layers?  The layer names are case sensitive, e.g. is it "Metal2" instead of "metal2" ?  You can verify the names in SKILL if you aren't too sure, something like:

    
    tf = techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView())
    setof(lp tf~>lps lp~>purpose=="drawing")~>name
    => (... "M1" "VIA1" "M2" "VIA2" "M3" "VIA3" "M4" ...)
    

    Hopefully this helps you?

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
