pcDefineParamCell

pcDefineParamCell(
d_cellviewId
[ 'disablePrompt ]
) 
=> t / nil

Description

Allows you to compile a graphical Pcell (super) master in the database from the cellview you specify. If you do not compile a Pcell before you place an instance of it in another design, the system interprets the design as a standard fixed cell instead of a Pcell. Each time you edit a graphical Pcell, you must recompile it so that all placed instances reflect the changes.

You must have already defined parameters for the cellview.

Arguments

l_cellviewId	Database ID for the cellview (cellview ID). This argument is required.
‘disablePrompt	If set to t, a prompt, which is displayed during the Pcell master compilation, gets disabled whenever no parameter is specified in the cell.

Value Returned

t	Parameterized (super) master was created.
nil	Parameterized (super) master was not created.

Examples

pcDefineParamCell( cellviewId )

Compiles a (super) master cell from the cellview identified by the variable cellviewId.
