EDIF export and import

Hello all,

Is it possible to export various views of a cell (schematic, symbol and
layout) from within Cadence using the EDIF format and later import it back
into Cadence and have the various cell views rebuilt?. If this is possible,
is it restricted to using certain options during export or certain versions
of EDIF?.

Thanks

Jon

 

Difficult to give you a straight answer. There are various versions of
EDIF and various levels of data inside one given EDIF version. You can
better look on edif.org
Overall, you can safely save your schematics and symbols and trust
that the properties and stored CDF will be preserved, but I wouldn t
expect too much for exporting layouts.
