Description
Creates an instance of the specified Pcell master in the specified cellview. The parameters in the parameter list may be CDF parameters. In this case, when you create a Pcell instance and pass a parameter, with the same value as the default value, dbCreateParamInstByMasterName() does not create an explicit local user property on the instance because the value is the same as the default. If the value is different from the default, the function stores the value as a local property on the instance.
Arguments
|
d_cellView
|
Cellview in which the instance is created.
|
|
t_libName
|
Library name of the master cellview.
|
|
t_cellName
|
Cell name of the master cellview.
|
|
t_viewName
|
View name of the master cellview.
|
|
t_instName
|
Name of the new Pcell instance. If nil the program assigns a unique name to the instance. The name must obey the syntax of instance names as defined at the beginning of this chapter.
|
|
l_origin
|
Origin of the new instance.
|
|
l_orient
|
Orientation of the new instance.
|
|
x_numInst
|
Number of instances; if t_name is given, it overrides any value specified by x_numInst (that is, the number of instances is derived from the name instead of taken from the x_numInst argument). If not specified, the default is one.
|
|
l_params
|
List of l_param, where l_param is list( t_propName t_propType g_value).
|
|
g_physOnly
|
Optional boolean argument that specifies whether the instance is only in physical domain when the argument is t; or it is in both physical and module domain when the argument is nil. Default is nil.
|
Value Returned
|
d_inst
|
Database ID of the instance.
|
|
nil
|
The instance was not created.
