Virtuoso Fluid Guard Ring Layout error "do_something=nil"

Hello,

When I draw a Fluid Guard Ring in Virtuoso, the layout is not visible, and instead, "do_something=nil" appears.

When I check the details with Q, it shows the same information as a regular NFGR guard ring, and Ctrl+F also displays the instance name, just like with a regular NFGR. 

Additionally, the Pcells of Fluid Guard Rings from previous projects appear broken. 

The version I’m currently using is not different from the one used in the past. Even when I access the same version as the one used during the project, the Pcells still appear broken.

These two issues are occurring, and I’m not sure what to check. I would greatly appreciate it if you could assist me in resolving this issue.

Reinstalling the PDK resolved the issue!

I’m not exactly sure what the problem was, but I suspect there might have been an internal issue with permissions or the PDK path.
