loading layerMap file automatically in ic6.1

I have a skill procedure that load streamInKeys when icfb is started.

When I probe for the value layerTable in CIW using streamInKeys-

the filename or the table in the viewer. Also when I click translate I
get an error saying that layerMap file was not defined.

If I go manually click on load and then select the mapFile , I see the
file getting loaded and can also view the table in the viewer.

Could you tell me why the Mapfile is not getting loaded and the map
table getting read.

What skill command I should use in order to load this particular
mapFile from the skill procedure I have.

 

Hmmm, dunno. I just do something like this in .cdsinit and it works
fine in ic5033 and ic5141:

streamInKeys = append( streamInKeys list( 'layerTable "/remote/anproc/
ibm65hpc/cadence/ibm65hp_4_30_02.lyrtbl" ))

Thanks Jay. That was the first thing I tried. However it does'nt work

 

If you place the file in the technology library, and call it
techlib.layermap (where techlib is whatever your technology library is
called) it will get picked up automatically.

Ah, yes. IC61 uses entirely new GDSII conversion, so now most of
what we know is wrong.

I haven't done my IC61 conversion yet, I'll put that on my list of
things
to watch out for.

Andrew,
let me try this out. Currently we are calling it
techlib.layer_map. May be this is the reason it does'nt work. Will try
it out with techlib.layermap.
