Comparing two layout views

Jay Bharti
Jay Bharti over 11 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to compare two layout views of a same cell. For this I am using the design sync function dssCompareViewsP(). But this fuction only reports the differences in the layers, nets, terminals and instances. The function is skipping the vias present in the layout, thereby the fuction is not comparing the whole layouts exactly.

Is there any other method/function to  achieve this?

Regards,

Jay

    Other than using a physical verification tool to do an XOR of the two layouts, writing your own comparison tool, or contacting Dassault Systemes (MatrixOne) over their function, the answer is no.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
