Quote:The 'Reference Library' in verilogin? is this the same standard-cell '.db'\'.lib' file? because when i tried to define this in cds.lib, i find no cells in the ' Library Manager '. is this Ok?
NO this is not OK, you need a Cadence DFII library of your standard cells for importing your Verilog Gate Level, this is a different library format as *.db or *.lib.
You usually get the Cadence DFII library form your standard cell vendor or you have to create the Cadence DFII library, cell views and
netlist properties, yourself. No that trivial for a beginner.
