Virtuoso XL: Having two separate libraries for layout and sc

[Suresh Jeevanandam]

Hi andrew and all,
While doing layout using VXL, the instances in the schematic are mapped
to the corresponding 'layout' view in the same cell where the symbol is.
But if two separate libraries are used for layout design and schematic
design, is there a way to tell VXL that map this schematic library with
this layout library.

Thanks.

You can use the property

lxUseCell = "libraryName cellName"

on the symbol instance in your schematic or
master symbol view or
as CDF parameter for the cell.

Bernd,
Thanks for the reply.

It would be great If we had an option (like 'lsUseLib') to be set in
the schematic library itself, so that we do not have to add the property
in each symbol view.But this could be done by a simple skill routine.
thanks.

Suresh
