    After importing DEF from SE, we need to do a replace abstract view ->
    Layout view for all the cells. But my menu of Floorplan/P&R (under
    tools) was disabled. Anyone know what license/feature exactly I need
    to enable that? (or is there another way to replace the view?)

    Thanks a lot. Tapeout is nextweek.

    When you open your imported DEF in virtuoso you can do
    edit -> search in the pulldown menu of your active window.

    This pops the search form to be filled:

    1. Search For {instance}
    2. In {current cellview}
    3. then add criteria
    4. change the cyclic button to {view name} and enter {abstract}
    6. click apply (may take a few minutes to search out all your instances)
    7. change the replace cyclic button from {none} to {view name}, enter
    {layout}
    8. click Replace All (again this may take a good few minutes)

    hope this helps,
    Chris
