[SOLVED] ICC : Add port text for LVS

[WTing]

Hi
I use create_text to generate string

but I can not see string in GUI

Is there anything wrong?

A height of "5" might be 5000000000x your DBU and
50000000x or more, your "feature size". Depending on
what scaling-of-args the cell or PCell applies. "f" for
full extent display shows what?

Your pin layer and your pin text layer may differ. You
have a 1x1 (units?) box pin. I see no instruction given,
to define the text associated (and there may be none).

Check the default pin or port text layer and if there is
one, that it;'s valid and visible. Also that not-giving a
"pinName" (or whatever) arg doesn't simply result in
not-making the name-text object.

I also question "port" vs "pin". Maybe the "port" is a
different thing than the "pins" I always use out of the
"create pin" menu functions in layout. IC Compiler is
not a tool I use. Might check the difference (if any) and
which of them (if different) is what ICC wants to see.

Yes
I want to add pin name for LVS
Is there anyone who use ICC can help me?

not an ICC user, but I can tell you what people usually get wrong when doing this manual pin assignment for LVS:
- wrong layer
- visually appearing pin but doesn't get exported to GDS because of wrong layer:datatype in GDS
- GUI-only text instead of a database text
- wrong location, wrong dimensions

Yes, Wrong layer.
It should be TEXT layer, not METAL layer
