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 Derek,

    There is one other thing i wanted to ask about the code. When i use it to copy and bring up Pin names, it copies the square for the pin, but the label is missing. It basically isn't bringing up the text for the pinname. I was wondering if it is something that is easy to fix or if it would take a lot more effort?

     Thanks,

    Shayan

  • The label is (usually) on car(pin->fig->children).

    Just apply the same logic to copy and transform it, too.

     

    Also: this thread is old.  Andrew will scold you for not starting a new one instead.
