How do I add an lpp to the new layer palette?

Hi,

We are using cadence version 6.1.4.5... I understand the fuctionality of the layerSets. What I need is to be able to add a layer to the palette. Lets say I have M2 throught M6 visible and on the palette. I need to draw M1. Must I load a new layerSet that includes M1 or is there a way to just add M1 to the palette I have loaded?

 

Regards

Vaughn Reavis

    In the code included in this post, lpp is a variable. Typically, lpp stands for "layer, purpose pair". Here are some examples of layer purpose pairs in Virtuoso:

    list("metal1" "drawing")
    list("metal1" "pin")
    list("text" "drawing")

    The format of an lpp is a two item list. The first item is the layer name and the second item is the purpose name. To make the code above work, you could do something like this first:

    lpp = list("text" "drawing")
