Pin Group Guide Functions

Pin Group Guides functions are related to Virtuoso^® Floorplanner. These functions let you create pin groups and assign pin constraints to them. This feature is useful for designs with a large number of pins, such as mixed-signal designs, where it would be difficult and time-consuming to create pin constraints on individual pins. You can create pin groups, assign them to full or partial edge(s), and apply process constraints, such as layer range and spacings, to the entire pin group through a dedicated pin group guide constraint.

Use the database SKILL functions described in this section to create pin groups and assign pin constraints to them.
