.lib to/from .db conversion

If you are working in DC then all library files will be in .db format , this format is nit readable by humans.

You need to convert .db file to .lib file. For that you need library compiler and license for it.

Below are the commands used to get .lib file.

Both dc_shell (Design Compiler) and Library Compiler (lc_shell)
can do this translation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
lc_shell> read_lib ...
lc_shell> write_lib ...

Use "read_lib", then "write_lib", of course you need a library compiler license.
You CAN NOT use those commands from DC if you
dont have a library compiler license.

Convert from .lib to .db -> 

Yes.You can use library_compiler to convert your libary from lib format to db format.
%dc_shell
dc_shell>read_lib ./path/library_file_name.lib(ex: ABCD.lib)
dc_shell>write_lib library_name -f db -o ./path/library_file_name.db
