Cell name map file from encounter

rdohanyos
rdohanyos over 16 years ago

I am saving a gds file from Encounter of a placed and routed cell, and I want to stream that gds file into layout xl. The problem I am running into is that the names don't carry back over from Encounter so connectivity in XL doesn't match up with the correct names. Encounter seems to have them named correctly on the few that I check, but the convertion seems to drop them. Is there a way to do this? Can encounter save a cell name mapping file?

    Export the design as a DEF file from Encounter and then import into icfb. All of the instances  and nets retain their names if you use DEF.
