makeCellUseInstanceDrawingMode

layout makeCellUseInstanceDrawingMode boolean { t | nil }

Description

Specifies whether instance drawing mode is used to compute the bounding box of a new cell to determine its origin. For example, when the instance drawing mode is set to PR boundary and you create an instance, the coordinates of the bounding box of the PR boundary are used to determine the origin of the instance if the environment variable is set to t.

For example, when you create an instance with this environment variable set to t and the instance drawing mode set to PR boundary, the coordinates of the bounding box of the PR boundary are used to determine the origin of the new instance.

The default is nil.
