Errors exist in rules file...

[Michael Förtsch]

Hello,

usually I try to solve Cadence problems with groups.google.com or with
sourcelink.cadence.com, but I haven't found anything about this:

Cadence 5.0.32.57 is running on a Ultra-250 with Solaris 5.8. We are use
a design kit from XFAB. If I start a DRC I get the following message:

error: Drc allows only one input layer for 'width' check.
2050. drc(geomGetEdge(hv_ng0 butting ndiff) geomGetEdge(hv_ng0
butting nwtrms) (width < 4.0) " W6P1 : Minimum GATE length = 4.0 ")
Errors exist in the rules file ".../TECH_XB06/divaDRC.rul".

If I manually delete the "geomGetEdge(hv_ng0 butting nwtrms)" part of
rules file, the DRC runs without an error message. At first, this looks
like a design kit problem rather than a Cadence problem. But exactly the
same rules file works without problems together with an older Cadence
version (Cadence 4.4.6.100.66m on Solaris 5.7)

If I try to generate the extracted view from a layout I get the
following message:

*WARNING* Errors exist in rules file so this program cannot continue.

There is no hint what errors exist. Since the divaDRC.rul has exactly
the same content then divaEXT.rul, I also deleted "geomGetEdge(hv_ng0
butting nwtrms)", but this has no effect.

Is there solution or a workaround for this problem?

Best regards,
Michael.
