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

    Alex,

    There's no need to have an adminstrator involved. Two things here - you have an unterminated line as the last line (this is probably a function of using a Windows-based text editor) - and secondly you have "DOS" line endings.

    So, please add a blank line at the end of the file, and then in UNIX type:

    dos2unix .cdsplotinit

    Then I think it should work (you can choose to plot to file).

    Andrew.
