Hi,

When generating the layout of transistors from source the pmos show a bunch of retangles with "pcell eval failed" in it. This doesn't happen for the nmos type.
In the CIW i get the following messages:

Code:
*WARNING* (LX-2012): Environment variable 'initIOPinLayer' has an invalid value: 'M1 drawing'.
Using the default I/O pin layer 'DIFF pin' instead.
*WARNING* rodAddToY: Invalid Point: nil
*WARNING* (DB-270001): Pcell evaluation for tsmc18/pmos2v/layout has the following error(s):

*WARNING* (DB-270003): Error kept in "errorDesc" property of the label "pcellEvalFailed" on layer/purpose "marker/error" in the submaster.

I test the PDK in other PC and it works fine with the same software version installed. And i can also put the pmos transistor layout with "Create instance" with no problem. The problem is when use "Generate all from source".
Anyone who already had this problem and knows how to solve it?

Thanks.
