lxDummyBackAnnotateMFactor

layoutXL lxDummyBackAnnotateMFactor boolean { t | nil }

Description

Allows dummies to be generated as mfactored devices in the schematic by merging those dummies during backannotation that have the same schematic master and connectivity.

Backannotation sets the multiplier parameter on the symbol to equal the number of merged devices. The parameter name used is the first name listed in the mfactorNames environment variable. If a parameter name is specified using the lxDummyBackAnnotateMFactorName environment variable, that name is used instead.

The default is nil.

For dummies to be effectively mfactored during backannotation, ensure that the parameters to ignore for check are appropriately set in the LAM file.

This environment variable is now deprecated. Instead, use backAnnotateInstances.
