hi everyone. i have a similar problem
I made layouts in the cadence CDB (5.1.4.1) and i placed hundreds of labels with any problem. Now i'm trying a simple inverter in the version OA (6.1.3) but i found the next problems:
-the label option does not pop up any window
-I add then through the pin option, nevertheless, the text is not visible and i tried different font sizes. The corresponding metal polygon is in the layout
-I use vdda and vssa for vdd and gnd instead the global signals vdd! and gnd!. defining vdda and vssa as power pins in calibre it worked fine in the cdb version. in the OA i get the next errors:
Warning: #1 in inverter
WARNING: Invalid PATHCHK request "GROUND && ! POWER": no POWER nets present, operation aborted.
Warning: #2 in inverter
WARNING: Invalid PATHCHK request "POWER && ! GROUND": no POWER nets present, operation aborted.
Warning: #3 in inverter
WARNING: Invalid PATHCHK request "! LABELED": no LABELED nets present, operation aborted.
Warning: #4 in inverter
WARNING: Invalid PATHCHK request "! POWER && ! GROUND": no POWER nets present, operation aborted.
of course, the LVS brakes.
I guess that calibre does not detect the pins, the question is why? and other question: why the "create label" does not work?
did someone has the same problems and has found the solution?
Thank you very much in advance
