    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to run LVS over all the cells in my library, I am
    wondering is there any way to do that?

    Previously, I did a batch mode DRC over all the cells in the library,
    by

    1. using a template .rsf,
    2. then construct a list containing the cell names that I want to
    run,
    3. followed by using a shell to substitude the cell name in the
    template .rsf
    4. then assura through all the the cells in the library.

    I tried to use the same method on LVS, after substituting all the cell
    names in the LVS .rsf file, it complains the .vlr file is missing,
    which would automatically be generated when I was running LVS on the
    GUI.

    I am wondering is there any method to get around that.

    Thanks and regards,

    Min

    Hi,
    What version of Assura are you using?
    I don't recall needing this file & it's not in my notes as well as any
    of my docs. either, but a check in Sourcelink comes up with something
    like this:


    If running from the command line, create a dfIIToVldb rules file
    (.vlr file) which has
    the following:
    ***********************
    avSimName = "auLvs"
    avLibName = "test"
    avCellName = "Top"
    avViewName = "schematic"
    avViewList = "auLvs schematic"
    avStopList = "auLvs"
    avVldbFile = "./test.sdb"
    avReadCDL( "abc.cdl" )
    *************************

    So I guess you need more coding to do...

    Best regards,
