Assura -> Calibre rule conversion

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by Nikolaos Kasparidis, Dec 23, 2004.

  1. Hello
    I need to convert a rule file set from assura to calibre. I tried my
    best but unfortunatly my conversion did not work first time. Some
    devices are not recognised and remain as nets. Is there a way I could
    view some of the derived layers in the RVE or Virtuoso? In assura
    there are the functions keepLayer and errorLayer which effectively
    allow you to display a layer on virtuoso. Are there any similar
    functions in Calibre or an option in RVE?

    Using Calibre with ICstation the COPY command can be used in the rule
    file the view derived layers. The COPY command will showup as a DRC
    check so you can use your LVS rule file to run DRC and show the layers.
    I have never run it with Virtuoso so I'm not sure how it differs.

    COPY derived_layer

    Best of Luck,
    Tim

    Example, you want to see layer "keepA"

    "mb" {
    @ Iwanttosee the layer
    COPY keepA
    }
    GROUP drcView "mb"
    DRC SELECT CHECK drcView


    thanks,
