How to make pins outside the cell in Virtuoso Layout Editor?

[Ahmed Atiya]

Hi all,

In virtuoso layout editor, I want to make a cell from my layout and connect it to another cell. The problem is that after making a cell by selecting the layout and executing make cell, the pins are inside the cell and cannot be connected so I want to know how to make the pins outside the cell.

thanks,

Re: Layout question

You can just connect by connecting the pins with the same metal layer. Virtuoso will understand this. There is no need to make the pins outside.
