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.

  • Hi Andrew,
    Thanks a lot for your prompt reply ..

    I don't know in fact what does the above numbers mean! How can i specifically check if i have it or not? Something from CIW or like that..

    Yes, I'd looked at $CDS_ROOT/tools/bin and i didn't find it there..
    But there's something i want to point out.. I said we've Solaris, but we don't have Cadence on Solaris.. We use Cadence on Linux RHEL 4.. Does that make difference??

    Thanks and regards,
    Ahmad,
