place_boundaryCellsContainTapCells

APR.stdcell.place place_boundaryCellsContainTapCells boolean { t | nil }

Description

Disables the independent selection of Add boundary cells and Add tap cells options and makes them both selected. This is to ensure that boundary cells are not fixed from a previous run so they cannot be swapped with tap cells as needed when tap cells are placed. If done in the same run, boundary cells do not have a fixed or locked status when tap cells are added.

The default is nil.
