Innovus connecting levelshifter power pin

Peter321

Hi All,

I'm new to BE design and I'm now at the stage to place&route. I have levelshifters in my design with a VDD and VDDL pin. The VDD pin is shared with all other STD_CELLs so is connected by abutment. The VDDL pin needs to be routed to a different power domain. The pins/nets are listed in when I open POWER -> CONNECT GLOBAL NETS so the tools is aware of these connections. However if I run my current flow the pins are not connected. 

I did find the command "routePGPinUseSignalRoute" and this looked to solve my problem. However when I run this command all routing created during "placeDesign" is removed and when I run the next step in my script the new power connections are removed again.

Can anyone help me solve this issue, thanks.
