cell libraries and place and route

Thank you for your replies. Unfortunately I don't think it is really a
problem of how one defines the save oppoint. Because with the way I do
it I have no problems seeing the gds curve in wavescan - so, it
extracts the data from the DC sweep. It is just that when I try to put
it in the calculator and then plot back in wavescan, that it kind of
"loses" it. But I'll try what you recommended.

I just looked a bit closer at your save statement. Try "save
M*:oppoint", or simply "save *:oppoint". refer to "spectre -h save"
for options.

Try changing the getData("/MN:gds"...) to getData("MN:gds"). I suspect something
is getting confused about the mapping of device names. Names which begin with
"/" are schematic names, whereas those without are "simulator" names. So
providing you use the names in the netlist, all should be OK.

You might also want to try pv("/MN" "gds" ?result "dc-dc") - but I'm guessing a
bit here.

Either way, it shouldn't really be getting this wrong, so you might want to
contact Cadence customer support to investigate why the mapping is going wrong.
There might be something afoot with the CDF for your transistors (maybe).

Regards,

Andrew.

Yeh, and this is saved e.g. in $HOME/.cdsenv which is NOT loaded by default
next time you start icfb/virtuoso. So there you are again ...

That depends one your settings for .cdsenv loading. If you are setup to load
using CSF, then the setup.loc file will control which .cdsenv files are loaded
and in which order.

If not setup for CSF, then the environment variable CDS_LOAD_ENV controls
which .cdsenv files are loaded. The default with no CSF and CDS_LOAD_ENV
not set is to load from the $HOME.

Hi,

I recently switched from IC5.1.4 to IC6.1 and I had one or two kinks.
One of the most troublesome is the fact that my Esc key does not work
in to cancel a command. Could someone point out what I might have mess
up?

Thanks!

Look like you are missing your bindKey definition.  You can add it
with:

 hiSetBindKey( "Layout" "<Key>Escape EF" "cancelEnterFun()" )

where "Layout" can be other tools like   Schematic or Symbol or ????

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still does not work when I set the
bind keys for schematics and layout. I also noticed that my delete key
also does not work. This is despite the fact that the "Del" key is
bind to delete as stated under the Edit pull down window in Schematics
L window. Like all my other bind keys work, except for the escape and
delete keys.

Could this be something related to my linux setting or does IC6.1 have
a different arrangement for bind keys?
Thanks in advance!
