Title: Schematic as stop view in icfb
Post by Haydar on Jul 1^st, 2009, 11:17am

Hi,
I'm setting "schematic" in the stop view list so the netlister doesn't descend into the subckt blocks. This works if I have a single level gates such as a nand. However if I have multiple levels of hierarchy the netlister fails.

For example for a single level hierarchy for a NAND gate and with a stop view of schematic I get what I expect even though the pins are missing! The netlister only includes the instantiation line as:

// Library name: hkutuk_lib
// Cell name: netlist_problem
// View name: schematic
g0 a9na2n size0W=0.0u size0L=0.0u size1W=0.0u size1L=0.0u

but when I use a multilevel hierarchical block the netlister fails with a message like this:

Netlist Error: Cannot find any info on instance "i3" in cell-view "hkutuk_lib" "netlist_problem" "schematic"

Is there something wrong with the netlister or am I missing something?

Thanks,

-Haydar

As we've been discussing this at http://www.cadence.com/Community/forums/p/12853/18944.aspx#18944 I won't answer it here too...
