What does PR do?

Fixes #597
This PR switches SC_LEF for the nangate45 platform to the original POLYGON LEF, restoring its factory antenna information.

Why this change?
Previously, the modified RECT LEF was used as a workaround for a DRT limitation with POLYGON pin shapes, but that conversion stripped out the antenna data. Since openDB now fully supports polygon geometries, the workaround is no longer required.

Changes:

  • Update config.mk to use NangateOpenCellLibrary.macro.lef
  • Delete the outdated macro.mod.lef and macro.rect.lef files

There is no sense in opening a PR if you haven't even run one design with your proposed change. At least test with gcd locally.

Switch to NangateOpenCellLibrary.macro.lef which has antenna data
and remove the obsolete .mod.lef and .rect.lef files. Fixes The-OpenROAD-Project#597
