Additional Information

Use this function to update the placement status of instances or pins in designs that are loaded in Layout XL for the first time, or which have been edited outside the Layout XL environment.

You can set the updatePlacementStatus environment variable to t to update the placement status automatically whenever an instance or pin is moved into or out of the PR boundary (including situations where the PR boundary is moved or stretched to enclose or exclude an instance or pin).
