    Hi Vikas,

    By "GPS", do you mean the result from Encounter P&R?

    I think the flow is the other way round. Encounter P&R flow requires the users to co-related the scaling factor between the cap-table and sign-off RC extractor (e.g. QX). The result of co-relation is the RC factor. It make sense to use the same RC factor in synthesis, if a re-synthesis is needed.

    I think wire-load is not as useful as PLE. So just have to use it as there is no other choice... :>

    Regards,
    Eng Han
