Hi All, When I use klayout to open def file with lef file, I find it cannot displayed the lef cell information correctly. Do you know how to fix this issue? @User

@mehdi I was in some discussions with Matthias about this. There is a flag in the LEF file that prevents it from happening and they were updating in newer versions of klayout. If I recall, it was the "FOREIGN" statements in the lef.

Sounds good, thanks a lot!

@User Mathias helped me make this when I needed it, maybe it could be of some use to you as well: https://github.com/Cloud-V/DFFRAM/blob/main/scripts/klayout/open.py

@donn you use -rd to provide script args

@Ming Hung Chen have you tried this?

@mehdi @Matthew Guthaus Thanks! It works.

I was able to script this with two scripts. A bash wrapper and a klayout python macro. Just run "defread.sh <def> <lef>"

Thanks for sharing files!

Actually, an update that will also look for LEF files in the same dir as the def if none are specified. klayout -rd def_file=foo.def -rm defread.py can run it directly.
