Bonding Wire in Cadence Virtuoso

$

Hello

I am using the Cadence Virtuoso tools version IC6.1.8-64b.500.6, and now trying to make a chip prototype.

I am on the level of bonding the chip I/O pads to the selected package pins. My problem is that I am not able to find the "Wire Bond" tool on my cadence. I read that it can be reached from the "route" tap, but it is not appearing in my case, not sure if Cadence has updated to another tool which I am kindly asking your help to find.

In the simplest form, I tried to connect the wire bonds just like normal layout wiring, however, this type can only give me 45° degree of freedom, while most of wire bonds need to be smaller.

The procedure I am following in the layout package step is

1. creating new layout cell (with a certain name)
2. inserting the top layout chip with pads
3. inserting the selected package (added to cadence from gds stream )

Thank you in advance for your help
