02/27/2023, 3:16 PMIf you create a layout with cells from the device generator, you need to make sure those cells have been saved to disk.

02/27/2023, 3:21 PMNo, but if those layouts have been saved to a different folder, then you need to tell magic that with the

02/27/2023, 4:02 PMMaybe we should start over and you tell me exactly what you did from the top. I assumed that you had a layout file to begin with, but from your initial statement, it sounds like maybe you were trying to read a SPICE netlist into magic using "File->Import SPICE"?

Juan Andres
02/27/2023, 4:03 PMYes, I did that, “File —> import SPICE”
