pcHIDefineParamCell

pcHIDefineParamCell( 
[ l_cellIdentifier ] 
)
=> t / nil

Description

Displays the Compile To Pcell form to let you create a graphical Pcell (super) master in the database from the design in the current window or 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_cellIdentifier

Database ID for the cellview (cellview ID).

Default: Current cellview ID

Value Returned

t

The parameterized (super) master was created.

nil

The parameterized (super) master was not created.

Examples
