[PCB_FORUM] Changing library based ptf to cell based using lib2cellptf

Hey,

 

I need to change my library ptf files to cell based ptf entries.

I'm using 15.51 on a Sun box and this is my directory structure;

/home/raid2/pmayer/cadence/library_development/ptf2cell/new_library/sch/
cdpas/cap_pol

/home/raid2/pmayer/cadence/library_development/ptf2cell/new_library/sch/
cdpas/capacitor

/home/raid2/pmayer/cadence/library_development/ptf2cell/new_library/ptf/
cdpas.ptf (This file contains ptf listings for both cap_pol and
capacitor. This is what we want to separate into ptf directories under
the symbol directories.)

 

The following is the command and response I receive;

lib2cellptf -product "PCB_LIBRARIAN_EXPERT" -cdslib ./cds.lib -ptffile
/home/raid2/pmayer/cadence/library_development/ptf2cell/new_library/ptf/
cdpas.ptf -cell
/home/raid2/pmayer/cadence/library_development/ptf2cell/new_library/sch/
cdpas

I: License PCB_librarian_expert checked out

I: Opening project
/home/raid2/pmayer/cadence/library_development/ptf2cell/temp_proj.cpm

I: Cdslib
/home/raid2/pmayer/cadence/library_development/ptf2cell/cds.lib opened

I: Project
/home/raid2/pmayer/cadence/library_development/ptf2cell/temp_proj.cpm
opened

 

And then nothing happens... all the files are the same and in the same
place except I do get an empty temp directory, an empty temp_proj.cpm,
and a lib2cellptf.log with the following contents;

Library Level PTF to Cell Level PTF Convertor 

Library Name      Cell Name   PTF Written

 

I was expecting both cap_pol and capacitor directories to contain a .ptf
in a ptf directory.

Anyone out there have any insight and/or experience with this?
