Pcell Parameters Not Appearing

The parameters for parameterized cells (Pcells) appear in the Create Instance form as you place an instance of the Pcell.

When you type the name of a cell into the Create Instance form, you must specify to the system that you are done before the Pcell parameters can appear.

• If Pcell parameters do not appear in the Create Instance form, press Tab to indicate that you are done typing the cell name.
• If the form is at the bottom of your screen, the parameter section can scroll off the screen. Move the form up to see the parameters.

If you use Component Description Format (CDF) C-level function parameters for your library or for any cells in the library, and your Pcell was compiled in version 4.2.1 or earlier, the CDF parameters suppress the Pcell parameter display.

• To recompile Pcells created in version 4.2.1 or earlier, choose Pcell – Compile – To Pcell.
