[SOLVED] Error on creation of wire in Cadence Virtuoso

[jephy]

Hi,

When i'm trying to create a wire in Schematic editor of cadence Virtuoso i'm getting the following error and wire is not getting created.
I'm able to copy/move/extent the already existing wires though..

"Loading layers.cxt
* Field is "color" *
*Error* hiCreateCyclicField: value must be contained within the list of choices"

It was working fine till yesterday.

If anyone know the solution/fix for this problem, please let me know..

reagrds,

Check the layers window (LSW) if the wire layer is selected and visible: View attachment LSW-description.pdf

Dear erikl,

Thank you for the quick reply.

I'm getting the error when i'm trying to create wire on Schematic editor. I was not able to find the LSW window on schematic editor.
I did find LSW on Layout editor but still it doesnt contain field called "wire".
It happens for all cells in all libraries.

I'm using virtuoso 6.1.5

I dont know if its relevant to this issue, but i'm having some Layer Number conflicts between two technology libraries.
A part of the warning is pasted below.

"*WARNING* (TECH-2000178): A Layer Number conflict has been detected in the technology hierarchy.
It is caused by the following list of layers: umc90nm/PPLUS (#11); cdsDefTechLib/M6PIN (#11);
*WARNING* Technology database conflict: There are layer numbers which conflict in the incremental techlibs
*WARNING* (TECH-2000178): A Layer Number conflict has been detected in the technology hierarchy.
It is caused by the following list of layers: umc90nm/NPLUS (#12); cdsDefTechLib/M7PIN (#12);
*WARNING* (TECH-2000178): A Layer Name conflict has been detected in the technology hierarchy.
It is caused by the following list of layers: umc90nm/DIFF (#1); cdsDefTechLib/DIFF (#1); "

Seems you have layers defined from 2 different technologies. In icfb 5.1.41 such a conflict was solved by reloading the technology file.

Dear erikl,

The issue is resolved now..
i reloaded the technology libraries and cleared some temp folders/files like .cadence.

Did most of the things together as i was in a hurry, so not able to pin point which one did the trick.

Thanks a lot for your quick responses..
