Generate from Source
The package layout is generated from the package schematic using the existing Generate from Source (GFS) functionality to place the components appropriately.
During GFS, each layout instance, net, and terminal is created. Individual components in the schematic are represented as the TILP instances that contain type specific information of their function and parameters, such as rotation, mirrored, flipped, and so on, which control the re-layering and geometry of the shapes contained within the components.
The GFS process creates a single level of layout hierarchy. This layout hierarchy may bind to a different schematic hierarchy - the binder component in the Virtuoso RF Solution maintains the correspondence between objects in the schematic and layout hierarchies.
