I'm trying to write a generic piece of code that will return the layermap file location, with file name, for a variety of projects (which could potential have different layermap file naming conventions. The below code is what I've used to date, but this assumes the file name is xxxx.layermap. I can obviously do some string matching to find it, assuming the various files all contain some common characters. I thought I'd ask if there is a simpler way to find it, I know that this information is automatically loaded into the Xstream out gui, so maybe I can use the same approach to find it.

techLibName=techGetTechFile(cv)~>libName

techLibLayerMap=strcat(ddGetObj(techLibName)~>readPath "/" techLibName ".layermap")

Hi,

My query is regarding importing of layout.

After importing, we see that the imported transistor instances and vias are all referring to the library in which they are imported, instead of referring to the technology library.

Please let me know how we can refer them to the technology library.

Will surely provide more details if my query is unclear.

Thanks,

Mallikarjun.
