Well, you could do a couple of things: File->Export->CDL in both versions to produce a CDL netlist and then use your LVS tool to do a schematic-versus-schematic check File->Export->Stream...

Hi, I'm working on a layout thats halfway done by a former engineer, and I cant seem to find the .LIB file or the footprints. I was thinking of making a copy of the .MAX file, renaming it, and then...
View ArticleRE: skill script to add layout pin for given metal intersect
Thank you Paul and Andrew. Both code are working like charm if my metal are in top most cell of hierarchy. What if some of metals are down in hierarchy ? Can we modify script to travel through hierarchy ?
View ArticleRE: skill script to add layout pin for given metal intersect
Its a little more work to go through the hierarchy to trace a net. If you dont have a trace script you might want to try the markNet functions and save the trace to a alternate view. Then you can do...
