How do I control where the routing tracks start?

PSmoot

I am creating a floorplan in Encounter 9.14-s274_1.  I have an updated technology lef and I am regenerating my abutted floorplan.

The problem is that I have to maintain the pin locations of the subblocks.

The new lef has changed the routing directions of each layer, so M1 went from horizontal to vertical. The track starting points are different now. Probably because of which layer it is going off of is different. Is there a way to control the placement of the first routing track, so I can match up to the same relative pin positions instead of everything moving by 0.05?

    The generateTracks command allows you to specify the offset on a layer by layer basis.
    Give it a look and let us know whether it meets your needs when you have a chance.

    Hope this helps,
    Bob
