  • There are a couple of solutions on the support site which cover this. Solutions 20412000 and 20224524. The gist of these is that you have a markNetOptions file which has either a syntax error in or is referring to a non-existent layer. Yes, there should be a better error reporting mechanism (this may have improved in more recent versions, but there's also an outstanding CCR on this too - you didn't mention which version you're using, which is always an important piece of information).

    Look for the file .cadence/dfII/markNet/cellTechLib/markNetOptions where cellTechLib is the name of your technology library - this .cadence dir could exist in a number of different places - e.g. your working dir, your home dir a site wide directory ($CDS_SITE) and various others - try using "cdswhich .cadence/dfII/markNet" in the UNIX terminal to find candidate directories. You might want to rename the file and recreate the options from the Mark Net form rather than trying to fix it up yourself.
