Modgen Topology Constraints

Vishu21

Hi,

Cadence Virtuoso version- ICADV12.3-64b.500.18

In the help section find the term "Modgen Topology Constraints" 

There you see a list of different Constraints, Go inside 'Via control' , in the example given for via control Constraint they have defined in the following manner if you see..

list ("viaControl" nil 1

            list(stringToSymbol "viaControlOrient" Horizontal)

            list(stringToSymbol "viaControlInline" t)

            list(stringToSymbol "viaControlOffset" t)

             ...........

             .............

             ))

I am using the same list in my script but getting an error as "unbound variable stringToSymbol"

which is obvious as stringToSymbol is a function which requires a string as a parameter....

So i am not getting where i need to change the sytax !!!

Andrew please clarify!!

Thanks,

Vishal

    Vishal,

    if this was urgent, you should have contacted customer support.

    I respond to questions here during spare time, and it is not part of my job at Cadence to answer questions on the forums As a result, when I am busy or on vacation I cannot always respond, even to something as simple as this question. There are also a few other Cadence folks that respond from time to time (as themselves), but they also get busy too. 

    Thanks to henker for replying below. That’s what the community is supposed to do - it’s not just me that has to answer. 

    Andrew
