Abstract generation problems

[Torgny Johansson]

Hi,

we're trying to generate abstract views of our layouts but we've run into
som problems.
I've attached the output from abstract when we try running it on a cell
from within cadence. We get similar errors when trying to create an
abstract using the abstract generator manually. It occurs when trying to
attach a technology to a library.

According to the output it seems like the techfile is bad in some way, how
can that be? We're using hit-kit 3.60 and we've tried the same with
hit-kik 3.50 as well.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
