Assura RCX Problem
Feb 13th, 2009, 2:57pm
 
Dear All,

I got DRC and LVS clean. But when I do Assura->RCX, I got this error:

That's a rather old Assura version. My guess is that it's too old for the RCX rules you're using, which are set up to use res blocking - and that probably wasn't supported in that version (too old for me to test, as I don't have such an old version installed).

Regards,

Andrew.
