symbol to layout conversion

frasheed

 Hell0,

I am using  lxGenFromSource(dbOpenCellViewByType(libName cellName "symbol" "" "r") ?layLibName newLib ?layCellName newcell ?layViewName "layout") to convert symbol into layout but I am getting the following warning

 *WARNING* (LX-2031): Cannot find the specified schematic cellview. The name or database IDyou specified either does not exist or does not point to a validschematic cellview. Specify a valid schematic cellview and try again.

but I have this Symbol view in my specified cellname , What could be the problem ?

Thanks

     Hi Farhan,

    Go back and read my previous post, or at least this part:

    ...try opening the symbol and using Create -> Cellview -> From cellview to create a schematic cellview type; this will only have the pins in it - instances etc. will need to be added (otherwise your layout will only contain pins also).

    The symbol will only contain pins (and some graphics), so you will most likely need to add instances and connect them to the pins and each other. If you are unsure about editing the schematic there is a Cell Design Tutorial in the documentation with an associated database in the installation hierarchy.

    Hope this helps,

    Lawrence.
