Description
Defines a soft block for a given physical and logical lib:cell:view. The initial I/O pins for the soft block are automatically generated and attributes are set as per the .cdsenv environment variables.
Arguments
|
g_cphId
|
ID of the physical configuration cellview.
|
|
t_PhysLibName, t_PhysCellName, t_PhysViewName
|
|
|
The physical ("lib" "cell" "view") to which the logical ("lib" "cell" "view") needs to be associated.
|
|
?logLib t_logicalLibName, ?logCell t_logicalCellName, ?logView t_logicalViewName
|
|
|
The logical ("lib" "cell" "view") from which soft block attributes need to be retrieved.
|
|
?viewList t_inhViewList
|
|
|
The design views that will be used to descend into the hierarchical design until stop views are found. The default value is “schematic symbol”.
|
|
?stopList t_inhStopViewList
|
|
|
The stop view list. While descending the hierarchical design, the command stops if any of the specified views, such as layout or abstract views, are found in this viewlist.
|
|
?bType t_btype
|
|
|
Type of block to be generated. Valid values are "CUSTOM" and "DIGITAL". The default value is "CUSTOM". This argument is case-insensitive. The block type influences the snapping of PR Boundary and pins during level-1 editing as follows:
CUSTOM - Pin edges and PR Boundary are snapped to the manufacturing grid.
DIGITAL - Pin centers are snapped to the routing grid and the PRBoundary is snapped to the placement grid.
|
|
?type t_type
|
Specifies whether a softMacro or blockBlackBox needs to be generated. By default, a softMacro is generated.
Valid values are "LAYOUT", which is the default value, and "ABSTRACT". This argument is case-insensitive.
|
Value Returned
|
x_softBlockID
|
ID of the soft block that was created
|
|
nil
|
The soft block was not created.
|

sbId = cphSbDefineSoftBlock(cphId "design" "block" "layout" ?logLib "design" ?logCell "block" ?logView "schematic" ?bType "CUSTOM" ?Type "LAYOUT")
