Hi... if you're not reading the answers, why would someone even answer ?

Mind me... Ok here's some clues to run calibre DRC from SKILL.

First you need to export the layout to GDS. Set the streamOutKeys
accordingly, then write the template file
template=outfile("pipo.template")
fprintf(template "streamOutKeys='%L\n" streamOutKeys)
close(template)
Finally run pipo
ipcId=ipcBeginProcess(strcat("pipo strmout " fileName))
ipcWait(ipcId)
If you're with IC6+ the translator is xstream, the approach is the
same.

Next run calibre. You need to write a rules file such as
LAYOUT PATH "drc.gds"
LAYOUT PRIMARY "top_cell"
LAYOUT SYSTEM GDSII
DRC RESULTS DATABASE "drc.drc.results" ASCII
DRC SUMMARY REPORT "drc.summary" REPLACE HIER
INCLUDE "pdk_rules_files"
Run calibre with ipcBeginProcess also
ipcId=ipcBeginProcess("calibre -drc rules_files"))
ipcWait(ipcId)

Finally inspect the results for the errors.
