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.

When you make a cell . the connective of layoutxl is miss . you should create pin in the make cell .
