Occurrence Bindings

Occurrence bindings are configuration rules that are defined at the occurrence level. An occurrence is an instance that is defined by the full path from the top-level design to the instance. Therefore, occurrence bindings apply to a single object at a specific path in the design.

You can specify the following rules at the occurrence level:

• Library, cell, and view binding for a single object at a specific path in the design
• Stop point that prevents the occurrence from being expanded
• Bind-to-open attribute that specifies that the occurrence is unbound, that is, it is not bound to a specific library, cell, or view.
