Arguments

d_cellViewId	Database ID of a cellview.
t_compTypeSetName	The name of the compTypeSetDef.
t_rowReference	Specifies row reference. Valid Values: bottomAlignment, centerAlignment, topAlignment.
t_componentReference
	Specifies component reference. Valid Values: bottomAlignment, centerAlignment, topAlignment.
l_allowedOrientations
	Allowed orientations that placer can use for cells in the component types.
l_componentTypes	List of component types that share placement attributes.
g_componentOffset	Optionally the offset from the reference points computed from row reference can be specified in user units.
g_pitch	Optionally the pitch or grid to use between placement locations can be specified.

Value Returned

d_compTypeSetDef	Returns Database ID of a compTypeSetDef.
nil	An error occurred during execution.

Examples
