All,
I can't help on this, but was wondering if anyone can help me... We are
exploring doing just the opposite -moving all cell ptf to a library ptf
due to a new application that we are looking into. I used to have a
couple of library level PPTs when I used Scald, but I don't know if
the rules have changed. Any help would be appreciated! -directory
structure, files needed, syntax, pointers etc. or is it just a matter of
copying all the ptf entries into one (or more) ptf files like I did in
scald? So far I've got one created with about 5 parts and it works fine.
Does anyone know if there are any limitations to the amount of
symbols/file size or if there will be any problems (response time or
other) if we put all of our ptf files into 1 file.
Thanks,
Lynn

Subject: [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?
Pattie
