Loading Physical Information from Another Cellview

To load information from a source cellview into a target cellview:

  1. From the layout window menu bar, choose File – Load Physical View.
    The Load Physical View form is displayed.
  2. Specify the library, cell, and view names of the source cellview in the fields provided.
  3. Select a mapping file that defines instance mapping and layer mapping between the source and target cellviews.
  4. Select the object information you want to copy into the target cellview by selecting relevant check boxes in each section.
    To select everything, check Select All. To deselect everything, check None.
    Add Geometries or Transfer Constraints require four Layout GXL tokens.
    If you choose to load a particular category, all the objects in that category are updated. For example, if you choose to update Standard Cells, then all the standard cells in the source cellview are updated to the target cellview. To copy only some cells, open both cellviews and use the Copy and Paste commands instead.
  5. Click OK to copy the selected object information from the source cellview into the target cellview.
    The target cellview is updated accordingly.
