Open Layout Instance in New Tab doesn't work in Ic 6.1.8.500.13

Hi all,

I am using Ic 6.1.8.500.13 and I am a little bit frustrated because a skill script from Cadence support - CCSOpenCellViewInTabWindow.il - doesn't work at all under this Ic version.

When I am looking at a layout with subcells I want to open one of subcells in an new tab and actually a new tab appears with the wanted layout BUT there is no Layout Menus at all !!

I get this message in CIW : *Error* (Default-writer-method) generic:__de_set_installing class:_DEWindow

In the earlier IC versions this has worked !

Is there a workaround/fix for this error ?!

Thank you & regards

    Hi Laurentz,

    I found an existing report with that error which was  fixed in the next release.  6.1.8.5000.14 and above should be good.

    Kind regards,

    Marc

    Thank you Marc for the information.

    But I am forced by project to use this IC version. So for me the issue is still there. Disappointed

    As alternative way I found this solution : open cellview from dynamic selection and redirect to new tab. Voila !
