Design Kit in ADS 2020

[Bailey_NTF]

I want to create my own Design Kit in ADS 2020. However, when I follow some tutorials, I encounter an issue. In the ADS Main Tool under Command Line, I input de_convert_kit() and click Apply, but it gives an error:
ERROR: (column 16) Cannot call the undefined function: "de_convert_kit".


Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks a lot!

de_convert_kit()

Which tutorial do you follow?

I don't have the old ADS 2020 installed, but ADS 2021 documentation (or later) does not mention this function.

This's one.

That is a description from long ago, to convert the old PDKs (ADS 2009 and earlier) to the new OA PDK format used in ADS 2011 and later, if you have all the PDK source code.

I understand that you want to create a new PDK from scratch, so this workflow does not apply to you.
