    Hi,

    During LVS, I got

    "undefined function: avSwitch"

    What is wrong?How can I define the function?

    Thanks,

  2. avSwitch is a function that allows the rules to test if a switch has
    been set to get conditional compilation of rules in the same way
    ivIf(switch) does. This is a moderately new feature so it would seem you
    have an older build of the software.

    Hi,

    I am using IC5.0 (Cadence university program). Our university have
    just updated the license. In the welcome message, I can see "welcome
    to Cadence 97B". Is that version old?

    Even though I changed divaLVS.rul from "avSwitch" to "ivIf", it still
    doesn't work and cannot find function ivIf:-(. Right now, I have to
    comment the rule out.

    I am using the Hit-Kit design kit 3.51 from austriamicrosystems. I am
    wondering if this design kit disables something, because the same
    problem happened on library manager.

    In library manager, if I run this design kit, I cannot run the menu
    "new->library" that is corresponding to a function like
    "createLibrary" (I don't remember exact function name now). Later, I
    changed the .cdsini file and fixed it.

    Thanks,

  4. Hi Lee,

    The Cadence version 5.0.32 should be used with the Hit-Kit
    design kit 3.51.
    This design-kit works also with Cadence version 4.4.6.100.87

    The message you have "welcome to Cadence 97B" means that something
    is wrong with your Cadence installation.
