schHiInstToView

schHiInstToView(
[ ?viewName t_viewName ]
[ ?dataType t_dataType ]
)
=> t

Description

Generates a cellview from an instance of a symbol. Usable only when editing schematics.

If you have not selected an instance of a symbol in your current schematic, the schematic editor prompts you to select an instance.

If you do not specify a value for any argument or if you specify an argument as nil, a form appears to prompt you to specify the field values.

If the schViewToPinListReg list or the schPinListToViewReg list does not contain the desired view type and conversion function, you must modify the lists. The lists are defined in your schConfig.il file (your_install_dir/samples/local/schConfig.il). Refer to the following section in your schConfig.il file for more information about modifying the schViewToPinListReg and schPinListToViewReg lists: REGISTERING CONVERSION FUNCTIONS FOR THE CREATE CELLVIEW FROM CELLVIEW COMMANDS.

`?dataType` t_dataType	String corresponding to an entry in the `schPinListToViewReg` list that specifies how the created cellview will be generated; must be enclosed in quotation marks.
