03/31/2024, 11:50 AM@Tim Edwards Trying to open parameter window for pcell in layout but window is not opening using
ctrl+pmagic::gencell {} ; raise .params: No gencell device is selected!t

03/31/2024, 3:29 PMThe only way I know of for this to happen is to write the layout to GDS and read it back from GDS. The parameterized cell properties cannot be represented in GDS.
Tim Edwards
03/31/2024, 3:32 PMThe contents of a .mag file for a parameterized cell should look something like this:
Copy code
<< properties >>
string FIXED_BBOX -106 -146 106 146
string gencell sky130_fd_pr__nfet_g5v0d10v5
string library sky130

04/02/2024, 8:38 AM@Tim Edwards Yes, I was reading this layout as a gds in magic.
I didn't understood the suggested solution i.e.
to save the parameters to a label in GDS on the LVS text layer so that the information doesn't get lost by conversion to GDSt
Tim Edwards
04/02/2024, 1:00 PMCurrently there is no way to read generated cell parameters from magic in a layout generated from GDS. My proposed solution is something that I would have to implement in magic.

Matt Venn
05/15/2024, 12:43 PMit's weird, even rolling all the way back to when I first commited twin_tee.mag to the repo, I can no longer edit the pcells

05/15/2024, 12:51 PMI have no issues getting the dialog window for those generated cells. It sounds like the issue is with your PDK, not with the project layout.

Matt Venn
05/15/2024, 1:19 PMnext time I ask a question like this, ask me if my PDK is ok!
