Moving Layers Through Hierarchy

shayansh

 Hi,

I am looking for a way to move some components through hiearchy in layout. For example, i have drawn some metal 1 path in the first level of hiearchy, and would like to 'pop' it out to the second level of hiearchy. Is there any default feature in Cadence that does this? If someone could kindly guide me to setting this up i would appreciate it. Basically i want something close to the YANK command, but CUT instead of copy. 

I am using Cadence: Virtuoso: 6.1.4

 

Thanks,

Shayan

  •  Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your reply. Maybe i can give a scenerio to help clarify what i am referring to. 

    I place an instance in layout and connect some modules together. I use the Edit in place command to draw some additional paths in the lower level instance. I was wondering then is there a way to just bring what is drawn through the hiearchy to the higher level. So basically "cutting" the new drawn path and moving it to the higher level in hiearchy? I would mainly be interested in this for extraction and considering the loading of different nodes. 

     Thanks,
