Raj, what do you mean by 'using the latest version of OA too'?

From what I read in the 6.1.3.500.12b release notes, the reasons behind the 'b' variant were some serious OA kit related bugs. If you're not already, I highly recommend sticking to the OA version that ships with the tools and is used implicitly. Avoid setting OA_HOME manually so the 'virtuoso' launch scripts use the known-stable version linked to by way of your installation's .../share/oa link.

Are you sure you're not placing an instance within itself? The only reports I've ever seen of this have been when people try to place an instance of libA/cellA/viewA into libA/cellA/viewA.

Even when I try that in 6.1.3.500.12b (the latest ISR), it doesn't crash - just doesn't let me do it.

So if you're really still seeing this, you should contact Cadence customer support.

IC613 crash issue

Hi,

I am using IC613 to create a layout and every time I try to create an instance, it says - "LE-107016 Cannot create a recursive instance placement" even though its not recursive - I created a new library and new cell view. I then click "OK" and continue to create my instance, but as soon as I place the instance, IC crashes. It does not say anything about it being a segmentation fault or anything. It creates a panic log though. I am using the latest version of OA too. This problem is there even if I try to create instance in an already existing library - the only difference being - it does not say anything about creating recursive instance. It just crashes when I place the instance.

Any suggestions on why this happens and any possible solutions will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Raj.
