inserting label in encounter

Hi:
I am looking for the command that can allow me to insert a text
label on a net in encounter. Does (SOC) encounter allow label
insertion? If so, is the label information preserved in the DEF?

regards
saby

 

the Command is "addCustomText <layerName> "<text>" <x1 y1 height>
just remember...it its on a net not in netlist u first need to define
the Net with "addNet" command....

 

Does that mean I cannot add a label to an existing layout? Because I am
using encounter to create layout using the gate netlist. Encounter adds
the nets and names them, I just want to add a label these nets.

thanks
saby

 

why would u like to add a label to that net?
when u add a label to a net and do a LVS... that label will be
translated in as PIN and U will get unmatched ports error in LVS...

I generally use it to label P/G pins .....
