[ g_physOnly]
)
=> d_inst / nil
Description
Creates an instance (of cellview d_master) in the cellview d_cellView with an origin and orientation specified by l_point and t_orient. This function creates a named object and has a ROD ID associated with this object.
Arguments
|
d_cellView
|
Cellview where the instance is placed.
|
|
d_master
|
Master cellview of the instance to be created.
This parameter must be a super master; use of a submaster can cause unexpected behavior.
|
|
t_name
|
If specified, the instance is named by t_name; if nil the program assigns a unique name to the instance. t_name can be a unique name, such as "Inst1" or, a hierarchy name, such as "moduleA`moduleB`Inst" with at least one hierarchy delimiter (`). It must obey the syntax of instance names as defined at the beginning of this chapter.
|
|
l_point
|
Origin of the new instance.
|
|
t_orient
|
Orientation of the new instance.
|
|
x_stopIndex
|
Number of instances; When specified and when its value is greater than 0, the starting index value is 0, and therefore, the resulting width of the instance is stopIndex +1.
Default value: 'nil
|
|
g_physOnly
|
Optional boolean argument that specifies whether cellview data is physical or both physical and logical. A cellview may contain both physical and logical data when it contains EMH type data. When t, the cellview is physical only. Default is nil.
|
Value Returned
|
d_inst
|
The dbObject of the instance.
|
|
nil
|
The instance is not created.
