    Hello,

    I am now designing the layout and met a problem when I run divaDRC. The
    program terminated and some parts of error message are as follows:

    " Parsing drcExtractRules of
    "/cad/cds/IBM_PDK/bicmos7wl/V1.5.1.5DM/cdslib/bicmos7wl/divaDRC.rul"...

    "

    Does that mean some other layers are also generated when I generate the
    layout? I can't find those unknown layers in the LSW window. And I also
    tried Assura 3.16, the same error message occurs. I use Cadence 5.141. The
    tech is IBM BiCMOS 7wl. Did anybody meet this before? Could someone help me
    with this?

    Thank you very much.
