    Dear

    As a new user of SOC Encounter 6.2,

    could anyone tell me "what I should type" for names in the following
    steps,

    ------------------------------------
    1. Design import
    1) IPO/CTS
    Buffer name / footprint : ?
    Delay name / footprint : ?
    Inverter name / footprint : ?
    2) Power
    Power nets : ?
    Ground nets : ?

    2. Place -> Filler -> Add filler
    1) Cell name : ?
    ------------------------------------

    When I typed "filler" as a cell name, an error message occurs:
    Error : (SOCSYT-16302) : incorrect usage for command "addFiller".

    If there is a good tutorial for SOC 6.2, please let me know.

    Following link was good for follow-up.

    But I feel that environment is different from SOC 6.2, especially CTS
    part.

    Thank you in advance

    This information comes from your standard cell library. Open it up and
    find the name of the inverter, buffer & delay cells for 1. For 2 look
    at the lef and see what the name of the "USE POWER" and "USE GROUND"
    pins are. For three again check the LEF for the filler cells.
