Label oa_purpose

JWMP

Hi,

The labels I am creating in Innovus have the Purpose of "drawing" by default. This is causing me issues in OA. When I try to change the Purpose from "drawing" to "pin" using -oa_purpose {pin}, I get the following error:

"**ERROR: (IMPDBTCL-4005): The specified -oa_purpose name ('pin') is not a purpose name for OA purpose from the technology graph or the design is an OA based design".

How can I resolve this error in Innovus? Do I need to initialize purpose names? Thank you.

    I was able to figure out how to make sure the purpose of the label was pin when importing it into Virtuoso. Before I created the label, I added the following command:

    set_db oa_text_purpose pin

    I checked the layout in Virtuoso and the label had a purpose of "pin."
