SKILL code to use with VLM to move instances

knight499

Dear all:

I can see a few hints on here about using dbMoveFig to change instance origins. We are using the Cadence VLM (Virtuoso Layout Migration) tool to migrate a layout from one foundry to another. I can see on here the option to register our own SKILL code as a callback.

Is there anything already developed that I can insert here or run after the migration that will read the bounding box of the original pcell layout and then reposition the new layout pcell so that it is centered in the same place?

Thanks for any help, kind regards,

Marion

    Hi Marion - probably best to take this one to customer support.
