Description

Traverses down the hierarchy and displays the child cellview of a specified instance and view you select, provided you have edit permission. If you do not have edit permission, a dialog box prompts you to use read mode.

The view you descend into is displayed in either the current window or in a new window, depending on whether you have enabled the Create New Window When Descending option on the User Preferences form. You access the User Preferences form from the Options – User Preferences command on the CIW.

If the selected instance represents a multisheet or index schematic, a form appears. You use the form to specify the number of the sheet you want to descend into.

Arguments

w_windowId

The window ID indicating the cellview from which you want to start the descend command. If not specified, the current window is used.

Value Returned

Always returns t.
