all my layout port "labels" are missing, . Any clue? thank[/quote]
Hi,
If your labels are using a symbolic cell, you will miss label information. Even in your same Cadence software(VirtuosoXL) when you streamOut and streamIn again. So, my suggestion is: Don't export database until you tapeout.
I export my layout to GDS using Virtuoso Stream Out feature. However, when I look at my layout using GDS display software, all my layout port "labels" are missing, . Any clue? thank
If your layer number is not exsist in current technology file . To streamout these layer , you should edit one layer map table file and fill the map table file name in the streamout form .
Um, just as a neurotic sidebar: I heard that cadence embeds a code into their gds files that when a foundry "sees" contacts cadence to determine that the person that sent it in is registered.
This is no problem if you actually bought the software...however, if you haven't, it seems that it could present some problems. Legally, financially, ninja in the nighty.
