Cell Bindings

Cell bindings are configuration rules that are defined at the cell level. Cell bindings override global bindings for a cell.

Cell bindings apply to all instantiations of a cell.

You can define the following rules at the cell level:

• View binding that determines which view of the cell is used in the configuration
  You can define view bindings for a cell in the following ways:
  • Binding rules for a specific cell that apply to that cell and to components below it in the hierarchy, until they are overridden by another binding
  • Binding for a specific cell that applies only to that cell and is not inherited by components below the cell
• Library binding that determines the library from which the cell is obtained. This is done by specifying a library list for the cell. Cell-level library lists are inherited by components below the cell in the hierarchy.
• Stop point on the cell that prevents the cell from being expanded.
• Bind-to-open attribute specifies that a single instantiation of a cell is to be skipped.
