Title: Hierarchical Copy
Post by ic_engr on Apr 22^nd, 2009, 7:14am

I am trying to archive the final design database, schematics and layouts into a one single library. The issue is currently the top level of schematics is in a different library, with sub-cell linked to multiple different libraries.

If I copy using hierarchical, and set the SKIP libraries to skip only the PDK and perform, update entire library and copy all views, the new copy is only copying partially and the rest is being still linked to the multiple libraries as the original one. The reason I guess is there may be cells in different libraries having same names.

To circumvent this, what I did was copied in two steps. I first copied hierarchical only schematics and symbol with update entire library option. It then copied all the schematics and symbols properly in the new library. I then copied layouts separately.

Is there any better way to do this.

I'm assuming you are using Cadence. Have you tried the copy wizard? It solved a few problems like this for me.

In the lib manager go to edit -> copy wizard

It may work

Thanks. That did solve most of my problems.
