virtuoso layout editor import eror gdsii file

Haii

Go to icfb ---> file ----->import----->stream----->And fill the form.
In the User Defined data tab You need to specify the layer map table file in map table column.

Click to expand...

can you describe what is layer map table and what kind of file is it?

I have the same problem when I try to import the stream file.

At first, I can import the file but the result layout using different component.

Now, I try it again, the import process didn't work anymore. It always stop in "Compiling class 'physycalRules'...."

Do you have any idea?

PS: before, there was a warning:
"FATAL (299): Stream In is unable to find the structure definition for the primary cell in the stream file. Ensure that you have specified the correct values with the Primary Cell and Input Stream File options."

sorry... the problems was fixed. thank you
