Incorrect Fractional Cell Error

Hello,

 checkPlace is reporting an error about fractional cells this is preventing filler cells from being placed correctly.

I have exaimined the macro lef and the tech lef, measured the cell on screen, and the cell should not be a fractional cell.  Additionally, the gift script  userRptFractionCell.tcl does not find any fractional cells.  I have even tried editing the macro lef so it is a multiple of the core site, M1, and M2 pitches but the error persists.

Does anybody have any ideas what could possibly be causing this error?

    Ok, thanks for the tips.

    I have no idea what went wrong but we were able to resolve this by restarting the tool and the design.  I don't think we did anything different but it worked this time.
