Hi Gilda, I changed my technology to have just one layer (a metal layer). Still having issues with DRC. Am getting the same bug. I spent some time checking out if DRC works for other technologies (eg) the built-in nMOS technology. Am having trouble with that.
Have copied below notes from previous users in the group showing the same issue... https://groups.google.com/d/msg/electricvlsi/1Cj3Oa9DnbM/ALLNOVRzQoYJ Thanks for your help once again, Deepak On Thursday, August 16, 2012 4:51:10 PM UTC-7, Deepak Sekar wrote: > > Hi Gilda, > > I tried loading the DRC rules, and it didn't work.
