backAnnotateInstances

layoutXL backAnnotateInstances cyclic { "individually" | "mfactored" | "iterated" }

Description

Specifies how instances are backannotated to the schematic.

• individually: Each instance is backannotated individually. This is the default.
• mfactored: Instances are backannotated as mfactored devices in the schematic.
• iterated: Instances are backannotated the same way as for mfactored, but some iterated notation is used. For example, (<0:2>). Specify this value when the instance you want to backannotate is not a Pcell and when no mfactored parameter is defined.

Value set for backAnnotateInstances takes effect only when lxDummyBackAnnotateMFactor is set to nil.
