Hi 

I wrote this script 

//////////////////////////////
// Map TEXT layer to port names
///////////////////////////////
text_depth -primary;
port -text_layer PO_TEXT M1_TEXT M2_TEXT M3_TEXT M4_TEXT M5_TEXT M6_TEXT M7_TEXT M8_TEXT;
text_layer PO_TEXT M1_TEXT M2_TEXT M3_TEXT M4_TEXT M5_TEXT M6_TEXT M7_TEXT M8_TEXT;


LABEL ORDER ME4 ME3 ME2 ME1 PLY
//Please change following ground and power name as in your design
virtual_connect -colon YES
virtual_connect -name ?VDD? ?VSS? V3IO V0IO VAS VAD VBB VCC DGND
top_layer ME4 VI3 ME3 VI2 ME2 VI1 ME1
base_layer DIFF NWEL DNW PPLUS NPLUS TG PO1 PO2;

and I got this result after run lvs. ERROR show its on LABEL.

TEXT_DEPTH -primary;
PORT -text_layer PO_TEXT M1_TEXT M2_TEXT M3_TEXT M4_TEXT M5_TEXT M6_TEXT M7_TEXT M8_TEXT;
TEXT_LAYER PO_TEXT M1_TEXT M2_TEXT M3_TEXT M4_TEXT M5_TEXT M6_TEXT M7_TEXT M8_TEXT;


[ERROR] Undefined rule 'LABEL' found at line 1262 in file /home/faisal/proj/asic/LUX4210/trunk/testruledecks/RuleDecks/pvs/lvs/rulefiles/G-RPT-CMOS_SENSOR18-1.8V_3.3V-2P4M-MMC_PVS-LVS-B.E-PJ.txt_20200622

VIRTUAL_CONNECT -colon YES;
VIRTUAL_CONNECT -name ?VDD? ?VSS? V3IO V0IO VAS VAD VBB VCC DGND;
TOP_LAYER ME4 VI3 ME3 VI2 ME2 VI1 ME1;

    Hi Faisal,

    There is no "LAYER" command in PVL, so I'm having to guess what you really want. Perhaps you want the label_precedence command?

    label_precedence ME4 ME3 ME2 ME1 PLY

    Perhaps you should check the Cadence PVS Developers Guide - <PVSinstDir>/doc/pvsref/pvsref.pdf to make sure you understand the available rules? My guess is that you were trying to use a Mentor SVRF command, not a PVL command.

    Andrew.
