Exporting .pcd.txt file from deployed pcell

AkshayN

Hi Everyone,

I am unable to load my Pcell in Pcell designer tool and getting below error. 

What I found is that .pcd.history folder from /layout directory is missing for this Pcell. This Pcell is also deployed in other version controlled library.

Is there any way by which we can export .pcd.txt file from the source or the deployed pcell?

Thanks & Regards,

Akshay Naik

    Hi Akshay,

    The fact that .pcd.history is missing shouldn't matter because that's not the primary storage mechanism. If you switch to a later 2.5.X build, from 2.5.10 or later, we improved the error checking at startup which gives a better indication as to what might be wrong (it used to diagnose a bunch of different issues the same way before).

    The best solution would be to contact us via your normal support channel though, as I suspect we'll need to see the data to understand why it's not opening.

    Note that you cannot export from a deployed PCell unless you chose to keep the "graphical source" when deploying.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
