I have Virtuoso schematics of a "digital" design (down to transistor level) I created 10 years ago, and last looked at 5 years ago. That represents the only times I've tried to run Virtuoso in the last 10 years. The installation I had been using had third party simulators whose licenses are no longer available, so cannot run. I was wanting to eventually export them to verilog (and lose all the work done on the pretty schematics, but such is life,) which would be more useful in the long run. I checked and I have access to licenses for Virtuoso_Schematic_Editor_L, *XL, Virtuoso_ADE_Assembler, *Explorer, *MMSIM_Lk, and a bunch of others. In Linux I tried executing "icfb" like I used to but that doesn't work. "virtuoso" executes but it doesn't look anything like I remember. I tried looking through the documentation, but nothing tells me where the "on-off" switch is, so I feel really stupid. I found a Cadence "Virtuoso Schematic Editor Tutorial" for version 5.1.41, July 2007 online, but it too references "icfb". Once I get the design open, the exporting may still be a challenge because it looks like the export to SystemVerilog requires a special license. I currently have access to "IC" version v6.1.7. (IC06.17.703). Thanks for any suggestions.
