Standcell layout scaling problem

heavenevil
heavenevil over 13 years ago

I am now doing a standcell library migrating from 90nm to 65nm, only thing I have is the 90nm cell layout, I don't want to draw by hand and I found one post about it http://www.cadence.com/forums/p/13074/19670.aspx.

Andrew gave some code, but I never learned skill so I don't know how to change it, even don't know how to run it, can anyone give me some hint? Thanks a lot

    Hi Andrew,

    I've tried your code by run load("abscale.il") in CIW, and returns T.

    Then I open the layout I want to scale in CIW and use command cv = geGetEditCellView() to get the cell view ID, 227684396

    Then I run: abScaleAllObjects 227684396 0.6

    but return *Error* dbGetq: Object is not a db/dd object. - 227684396

    So what's the problem? I have the layout .cdb file, this is a layout others done by hand.

    Regards

    Li
