extractCheckShortedTerminalsInPcells

layout extractCheckShortedTerminalsInPcells boolean { t | nil }

Description

Runs checks to detect cases where two terminals are shorted inside a Pcell when the corresponding instance terminals are assigned to different nets. In this case, a short marker is created between a level-1 pinFig and an overlapping hierarchical shape assigned to the net of a different terminal.

This option is available only if the Extract through pcells option in the Connectivity form is enabled and the extractStopLevel environment variable is greater than or equal to 1 because it involves a hierarchical shape.

The default is t.
