Description
Creates a new cellview of fill shapes of all or specified types, from all or specific layers. Can optionally create an instance of the new cellview, remove the original fill shapes from the active view, and replace the removed fill shapes with the new instance.
Arguments
|
-cell s_cellName
|
Names the cell for the new cellview. By default, the active cell name is used. At least one of -lib, -cell, or -view must be given.

-replace [ true | false ]
|

If true, creates an instance of the cellview that is created by this command and replaces the original fill shapes in the active design with the instance. The name of the new instance is given by the -instance_name argument. If -instance_name is not given, a name is assigned that is derived from the lib, cell, and view arguments.

Examples
The following example creates a new cellview for all types of fill shapes on layer Metal2. The new cellview is added to the active library and cell, with the view name fill_Metal2.
create_fill_cell -types all -layers Metal2 -view fill_Metal2
The following example creates a new cellview for notch fill shapes on all layers and creates an instance named notchFillA, containing the notch fill shapes. The notch fill shapes in the active view are removed and replaced by the new instance. The new cellview is mylib/mycell/notch_fill.
create_fill_cell -types notch -layers all -lib mylib -cell mycell -view notch_fill -replace -instance_name notchFillA
