Description

Generates one type of cellview from another.

If you do not specify any argument or specify an argument as nil, the Cellview From Cellview 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.
