How to do a plot in Cadence?

Alex Liao

Hi, everytime when I want to print a schematic/ layout view to a file, it always says:

There were no system .cdsplotinit files found.

*WARNING* Plotter configuration not loaded.

 I could not find it in the provided PDK. Instead, I found something interesting. Under the /CMC/tools/cadence/IC5141USR6_lnx86, I found a cdsplotinit (no dot in front) and under /CMC/tools/cadence/IC5141USR6_lnx86/tools.lnx86/plot/samples, I found a cdsplotinit.sample.

 I am sure thoses are something related to the plot function. However I tried to rename them to .cdsplotinit which is required from the warning message and it is still not working. Not a proper plotter can be found.

 

Anyone got an idea?

 

Thanks,

Alex

    Hi Lawrence,
     
    When I typed:
    "which $LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
     
    it gave me: 
    "/lib64:/usr/lib64:/lib:/usr/lib::/CMC/tools/cadence/MMSIM_07.20.109_lnx86/tools/lib: Command not found."
     
    I think it is good. But when I typed "checkSysConf IC5.1" it said:
     
    ============== checkSysConf:  Version 3.15 ====================

    Configuration checks failed, status is: FAIL

    checkSysConf cannot reliably parse your systems /etc/redhat-release file
    It would appear that the file is non-standard and does not contain release
    information in the standard readable format.

    The contents of your /etc/redhat-release is listed below between
    <RELEASE_FILE> tags.
    A 'correct' release file should have only one line of content, containing
    version information in a standard format.

    <RELEASE_FILE>
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.5 (Santiago)
    </RELEASE_FILE>

    Please check/correct your /etc/redhat-release file and try again.
    There is no OEM datafile for IC5.1 for the Linux platform.
     
    I think it is a little bit complicated here.
     
    My colleague suggested me to use Cadence Camera. And it looks beautiful!
     
    Thank you so much.
     
    Regards,
