problems when using techGetSpacingRule

Hi

1. Im trying to execute the following command:

techGetSpacingRule( tfId "minSpacing" "PC" "CA")

but the it returns nil. is this because the techfile.tf is improperly written, or are there any other reasons

 2. in totally unrelated issue, what is the difference between a master and a supermaster?

 

Adhil.

    Ya I am a bit confused, let me get this straight.

    1. the supermaster has the parameters of the parent pcell stored in real memory.
    2. the submaster has the parameters of an instantiated pcell (which means when it is placed on a particular cellview).
    3. then what is the master?
