exporting gds2 into virtuoso

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by shweta.s.humad, Dec 15, 2004.

  1. I recieved a Reticle.gds2 file that I exported into Virtuoso. On
    browsing the library manager I see thousands of cells under the library
    'Reticle'. How can I combine all these cells? I have already tried
    unchecking the 'No Merge' option during streamIn.

    Thanks,
    Shweta

    Well, I guess you edit the top level cell, select all
    instances, and Edit->Hierarchy->Flatten. Or am I missing
    something?
    That's the "keep reference library" option; that it only
    to avoid streaming in new copies of cells you already
    have. If what you want is to flatten the hierarchy of the
    design, there is no way to do that in pipo. You either do
    it in icfb, or you write a DRC flow to do it.
