Is it possible to control cell names in GDS during streamout

[Reotaro Hashemoto]

Hi,

When i make normal stream out with default settings from VLE, cell
names in GDS are no longer formatted as in LE. How can I force the
stream out engine to write cell names in GDS with specific format
like: libName_cellName_dbID for example? What should I do to get
similar results?

Thanks,
Ahmad

Ahmad,

Search for poCellNameMap in the documentation. This is a function that you can
write, and give to the stream out command (there's an option on the form to
specify a SKILL customization file) to change the mapping of cellNames.

There's also a separate control for pcells, called "Pcell Suffix" (or
"pcellSuffix" in the template file) which allows various things to be appended
to the cells produced for each pcell variant. This is also in the same manual,
the "Design Data Translator's Reference", or <instdir>/doc/transref/transref.pdf
for the hard-of-cdsdoc.

Regards,

Andrew.
