Hallo, In my cells, the connectors are all in metal and the labels are inside the cell. Some are over polysilicon or diffusion contacts. Normally labels are associated with the metal layer, the ones over the contacts are associated with the contacts, as shown by this example from a MAG file: rlabel metal1 36 40 36 40 6 a1 rlabel polycontact 44 32 44 32 6 a2 rlabel metal1 28 32 28 32 6 b rlabel metal1 12 48 12 48 6 z The cells are initially read from a CIF file, and this is confirmed during the cif read by a message like: Moving label "a2" from metal1 to polycontact in cell aoi21v0x2 I find that when I write out a CIF file, a label over a contact is written out without an associated layer name: 94 a1 72 80 CMF; 94 a2 88 64; 94 b 56 64 CMF; 94 z 24 96 CMF; This causes problems for the program reading the CIF file, which interpretes the a2 label co-ordinates wrongly. At this moment, I am fixing the problem with a nasty script hack. Is there any way of avoiding it more elegantly?
