1	Front End Design Data Translation
2	Symbol Library Conversion Will dump an ASCII file description for each symbol containing constituent geometries Program to read this and create the symbol library in target vendor environment Base and Library CDF dumped with symbol definition and read in as properties in target framework
3	Design Schematic Rereferencing Create target vender equivalent schematic from Cadence original Manage CDF in Cadence, map to target DB properties
4	CDF mapfile example # this is a comment START_TECH tech1 tech2 START_CELL tsmc18 pmos_2v symbol tsmc18_tst pmos_2v_tst symbol nf m l lgth w wdth END_CELL START_CELL tsmc18 nmos_2v symbol tsmc18_tst nmos_2v_tst symbol nf m l lgth w wdth END_CELL END_TECH
