CELLS NOT TRANSLATED DURING STREAM-IN

[RC MURALI]

Hi,

I streamed-out a layout block in IC6.1 and tried to do stream-in in
IC5.4.

While doing the stream-in, all the cells in the block were scanned but
only a few cells were actually translated (saw the PIPO.log file).

But the same gds file, if I stream-in in IC6.1, all the cells are
translated.

Is there any option that I need to enable while stream-out/stream-in?

I am not using any layer-map file.

Can you help me to resolve this?

Would be good to see your log to give advice. Maybe you work
with reference libs and you don't have them in IC5 ?

Or maybe you specified a top cell in IC5141, and not in IC61, and so were only
importing a proportion of the design.

The IC5141 and IC61 log files from stream in would allow us to answer, which is
why Marc asked for it.

Regards,

Andrew.
