autoPinPathSpineAware

layoutXL.floorplan autoPinPathSpineAware boolean { t | nil }

Description

Determines whether signal pins created in the Single mode are path spine aware.

When set to t, a single merged pin is created on the highest metal layer shape island. A metal layer shape island is made of overlapping shapes that belong to the same layer and net.

When pinSizeSelection is set to Auto, square pins are created on the net shape. When pinSizeSelection is set to Whole Shape, the tool creates whole shape pins by recognizing splits in the pathseg of a continuous net as a single shape.

The default value is nil, which means that a single pin is created on the highest metal layer shape island.
