dbCreateConnByNewName

dbCreateConnByNewName( 
d_net 
d_inst 
t_name 
) 
=> d_instTerm / nil

Description

Similar to dbCreateConnByName, except t_name can refer to a master terminal to be created in the master cellview of instance d_inst.

In that case, the instance terminal created is left unbound to its master. If terminal t_name exists on the instance’s master cellview, this function behaves the same as dbCreateConnByName.

Arguments

d_net	Net to be connected to the instance terminal.
d_inst	Instance of the master cellview where terminal t_name is defined. d_inst cannot be a mosaic instance. Instance terms are not supported in mosaic instances.
t_name	Name of a new or existing terminal in the master cellview of instance d_inst.

Value Returned

d_instTerm	The connected instance terminal.
`nil`	The instance terminal is not created.

Example

Creates an instance terminal of a non-existing master terminal named A.

unbound = dbCreateConnByNewName(net inst "A")

If you specify nil as the d_net value, a warning message displays and the instance terminal is not created.
