pcHIDefineParameterizedShape

pcHIDefineParameterizedShape()
=> t / nil

Description

Lets you assign the vertices of a shape as parameters of the Pcell you are currently editing by prompting you to select a shape. You can parameterize paths, polygons, and rectangles. When you place an instance of the Pcell, you supply values for the parameters by entering coordinates.

You can define multiple shapes in the same Pcell master as parameterized, as long as they are all of the same shape type. For example, you can define several rectangles as parameterized, but you cannot define one rectangle and one polygon as parameterized in the same Pcell master. For more information about parameterized shapes, see “Parameterized Shapes Commands” in the Virtuoso Parameterized Cell Reference.
