artGenerateHierSymbolCDF

artGenerateHierSymbolCDF(
d_cellView
[ g_overwrite ]
) 
=> t

Description

Creates the cell CDF for the specified cellView, in the same way as happens when you create a symbol from a schematic in Composer. The cellView will be examined for any use of pPar() in expressions, and the corresponding parameters will be added to the CDF if they are not already present. Whilst both schematic and symbol cellViews may be passed to this function, it is usually best to pass a schematic cellView, in order to get the pPar()s used into the CDF.

Arguments

d_cellView

Database object for the schematic or symbol.

g_overwrite

If the cell CDF already exists, a popup will normally be displayed to ask if you want to overwrite the CDF. If the overwrite argument is specified as non-nil, then the popup is suppressed, and the CDF will be overwritten.

Value Returned

t

Successful operation

Examples

Recreates the cell CDF for the current cellView.
