dbSetSoftConnectTermPinlessLayer

dbSetSoftConnectTermPinlessLayer(
d_termID
tx_layer
)
=> t / nil

Description

Sets a soft-connect terminal as a pinless layer based on the layer name value you specify. If you specify a text value, the corresponding definition must exist in the current tech database. The pinless layer attribute can be set only on a soft-connect terminal. Setting the value on a non-soft-connect terminal generates an error.

If you specify a layer name value of "", the pinless layer attribute is removed from the soft-connect terminal.

Arguments

d_termID
	Terminal ID on which the pinless layer attribute needs to be set.
tx_layer
	The layer name value that needs to be made pinless.

Value Returned

`t`	The pinless layer attribute is set.
`nil`	The pinless layer attribute is not set.

Example

dbSetSoftConnectTermPinlessLayer(term bulkArea) => t

where, bulkArea is a derived layer, which can be defined as an intersection of two layers such as poly and diffusion:

derivedLayers(bulkArea 10001 (Poly ‘and Oxide))
