modgenDummyType

layoutXL modgenDummyType cyclic { "neighbor" | "default" | "copy" }

Description

Specifies the default type for dummy devices.

The default type is neighbor, where the type of device created is dependent on the location of the dummy and the setting of the modgenMakeMinDummies environment variable.

If the default type is default, then the type of device can be specified using modgenDummyLib, modgenDummyCell, and modgenDummyView variables.

If the default type is copy, then identical dummies of the selected instances are created. In this mode, the dummy parameters and default values of the source instances are used. Different values cannot be specified.
