Description

Generates a cellview from a pin list. Usable when editing schematics or symbols.

If you do not specify t_libName, t_cellName, or t_viewName, a form appears for you to specify them. The form also appears if you do not specify all four of the pin list arguments. Use an empty string ( "" ) to represent an empty pin list.

If you do not specify any argument or specify an argument as nil, the form appears so that you can 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.

Arguments

`?libName` t_libName	Library name to which to append the generated cellview; must be enclosed in quotation marks.
`?cellName` t_cellName	Cell name for the generated cellview; must be enclosed in quotation marks.
`?viewName` t_viewName	View name of the cellview to be generated; must be enclosed in quotation marks. Valid Values: `symbol`, `schematic`, `functional`, `behavioral`, `system`
`?inPinList` t_inPinList	The input pin names separated by spaces; must be enclosed in quotation marks.
`?outPinList` t_outPinList
	The output pin names separated by spaces; must be enclosed in quotation marks.
`?ioPinList` t_ioPinList	The input/output pin names separated by spaces; must be enclosed in quotation marks.
`?swPinList` t_swPinList	The switch pin names separated by spaces; must be enclosed in quotation marks.
`?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.
`?jpPinList` t_jpPinList	String value of the Jumper Pins field.
`?trPinList` t_trPinList	String value of the Tristate Pins field.
`?unPinList` t_unPinList	String value of the Unused Pins field.

Value Returned

Always returns t.
