How to design CHIPEDGE using encounter

Hi, All,

We try to fabricate our chip with MOSIS and  submit our design. But there is an error during DRC ERROR: no CHIPEDGE seen.
We ask help for MOSIS technical support and they say:

"CHIPEDGE is something you can teach Encounter to draw for you", it is a special Encounter instruction sequence. You will have to search your Encounter documentation to find it. Search on keywords such as "drawing a bounding box polygon" or "chamfer" or even "CHIPEDGE" might give you a hit. With that sequence you can force Encounter to draw the CHIPEDGE polygon directly".

We search the whole encounter document but cannot get a hit. If anyone know something like this, please help us.

We appreaciate 

 

Thanks

    Hi Kari,

     

    I was wondering if you could provide more details regarding adding the GUARDRING, CHIPEDGE, GUARDEDGE, LOGOBND, etc. I have found some cells in Virtuoso and am also brand new to the tool.  Is it fairly easy to modify the chipedge for my die size? Also, do you have any references or advice?

     Thank you!
