License for Layout->Tools->Floorplan/P&R

[Jym]

After importing DEF from SE, we need to do a replace abstract view ->
Layout view for all the cells. But my menu of Floorplan/P&R (under
tools) was disabled. Anyone know what license/feature exactly I need
to enable that? (or is there another way to replace the view?)

Thanks a lot. Tapeout is nextweek.

When you open your imported DEF in virtuoso you can do
edit -> search in the pulldown menu of your active window.

This pops the search form to be filled:

1. Search For {instance}
2. In {current cellview}
3. then add criteria
4. change the cyclic button to {view name} and enter {abstract}
6. click apply (may take a few minutes to search out all your instances)
7. change the replace cyclic button from {none} to {view name}, enter
{layout}
8. click Replace All (again this may take a good few minutes)

hope this helps,
Chris
