makeCellPinsChoice

layoutDP makeCellPinsChoice cyclic { "Congestion aware" | "On boundary" | "Below boundary" | "Promote pins" }

Specifies the options for creating interface pins when running the Make Cell command on a virtual hierarchy.

The default is Congestion aware.

Congestion aware runs the congestion-aware global router to automatically create pins on the boundary of the virtual hierarchy.
On boundary creates pins on the boundary of the virtual hierarchy, ensuring the shortest possible net length in the direction of routing.
Below boundary creates pins just below the boundary of the virtual hierarchy.
Promote pins extends pins from lower levels of a virtual hierarchy to a higher level.

Command:

Plan – Manage Hierarchy – Make Cell

Field:

Create pins – Congestion aware

Create pins – On boundary

Create pins – Below boundary

Create pins – Promote pins
