Cadence pc.db file info

[acbalbason]

Hi All,

Anyone know what is the importance of the Cadence pc.db file inside the layout, schematic and symbol folders? I accidentally deleted them. You know how to restore them? I can still seemingly use the layouts and schematics though.

Hi there!

In the Cadence CDB database, each cellView is accompanied by a pc.db text file that lists the library, cell, and view name of each cell instantiated within the cellView. CAD developers use this file to quickly determine the dependency graph of the design, without opening any cellViews.

So sorry I‘ve no idea about how to restore them, maybe U can try "Copy" to create a new design? That may work...

Best regards!
