Description

Deletes bound back annotated schematic instances for the specified dummy layout instances. For mfactored layout devices that have all the layout dummies included in the layout selected set, the SKILL function deletes the schematic dummy instances corresponding to the layout dummies. If all the layout dummy instances of the mfactored device are not included in the selected set, the SKILL function decrements the mfactor to reflect the removal of the selected dummies.

Arguments

`?schCV`	Database ID of the schematic cellview. If not specified, the current schematic cellview is used.
`?layCV`	Database ID of the layout cellview. If not specified, the current layout cellview is used.
`?layInsts`	List of layout instances for which the bound back annotated schematic dummy instances need to be deleted. If not specified, all the specified layout instances are considered for bound schematic deletion.
`?useMFactor`	Deletes the schematic dummy instances corresponding to the layout dummies of an mfactored device if all the layout dummies of the mfactor are included in the selected set of layout instance. The default is `t`. When set to `nil`, the schematic dummy instances bound to the layout dummies of an mfactored device is deleted even when all the layout dummies are not included in the selected set.

Value Returned

`t`	Back annotated schematic dummy instances bound to the specified layout instances are deleted.
`nil`	Bound schematic dummy instances are not deleted.

Example

lxDeleteSchematicDummies(?layInsts geGetSelectedSet() ?useMFactor t)

Decrements the schematic dummies bound to dummies in the layout selected set of instances in the current layout cellview. If all the layout dummies of an mfactor are selected, the schematic dummy is deleted.
