Creating custom strokes in Virtuoso?

archive

Just wondering if anyone here could help me in figuring out how to create my own strokes in Virtuoso.  I've recently switched from using Mentor IC Station to Cadence VLE and would really like to preserve the strokes used in IC Station.

I've looked through the Virtuoso user's manual, but only found mention of the three files used by Virtuoso to produce strokes.  However, it seems the the stroke.il file is encrypted and this is the file that actually holds the keys to the kingdom, so to speak.  Is there a 'stroke editor' tool in Virtuoso somewhere that allows you to edit this stroke.il file?  Or are strokes not editable in Virtuoso?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    which is virtually everything in the IC stream. Did you look in /tools/bin to see if it is there? Perhaps your UNIX path is not set to include this. Perhaps you run the IC tools via a wrapper script, and so don't directly have this in your path?
