assura SVS?

[danmc]

Is there anyway to convince Assura to run a schematic vs schematic
comparison?

Thanks

Sure. Not from the GUI (unless that's been added in the last
6 months or so) but Assura doesn't really care if the "layout" is
an extracted layout netlist, or a CDL netlist, or a dfII netlist.

Assura User Guide, Chapter 6 "Comparing Two Schematics".
I had a PCR open at one time to improve this section of the
User Guide, but it hadn't made it as of this March.

My notes from the time I had the PCR open:

SVS instructions
-------------------------
0) Start with a normal working layout/schematic lvs.rsf.

1) Your new svs.rsf should contain *only* a copy of the same
avCompareRules() block you used for LVS.

2) Remove any layout( netlist()) block that might exist there.

3) Add a new layout( netlist()) block pointing at your second
netlist environment.

4) Run nvn on the new RSF (literally "nvn /path/to/svs.rsf").

If you want to LVS all cells, you're done. If you want to LVS a
subcell, use rootCell().
