Description

Traverses down the hierarchy and displays the child cellview in read mode of a specified instance and view you select. The cellview is not editable.

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

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