Unable to use instance option

RakeshPRG
RakeshPRG over 4 years ago

Hi,

I have recently updated my PDK and I noticed that there are some issues with using "I" or Create-> Instance to add instances. When I restart the cadence everytime by sourcing the cad file, I could place instances the first time. Then when I use the command again, I get an error in the log window. I could not understand this error or which file it refers to. 

When I start the cadence, there are warnings indicating the problem with the instance option. Can I get some help on how to fix this?

Thanks,

-Rakesh.

    That's something wrong in the code for the PDK. You should contact the foundry (GF, presumably). The error and the functions the beginning of the stack trace are not Cadence functions, and are presumably part of the PDK.

    Andrew.
