Access to the DRC markers.

Hi all!

I understand, that this question has already been raised several times. But I could not find the answer.

A lot of time we need to have access (or transfer to the layer or have access to the coordinates) to the DRC error markers after Assura, PVS or Calibre check.

But no any *hilight functions or another skill function doesn't help.

Can anyone help how to solve this problem?

    I can't answer for Calibre because that's not a Cadence tool and so I don't have access to it to check. However, in general physical verification tools have the ability to output error markers to stream (GDS) format. Dracula had this, Assura has this (via the ?outErrorLayers avParameter RSF setting), PVS has it and I suspect Calibre will too.

    It would also be possible in Assura (say) and I'm sure PVS to write your rules to directly output OA layers.

    In addition, PVS offers this choice:

    If you do that, the markers can be seen in the annotation browser, and also the geometries found using cv~>markers

    Regards,

    Andrew.
