Examples

envGetVal("layoutXL" "lxGenerationOrientation")

envSetVal("layoutXL" "lxGenerationOrientation" 'string "R0")

envSetVal("layoutXL" "lxGenerationOrientation" 'string "preserve")

envSetVal("layoutXL" "lxGenerationOrientation" 'string "MXR90")

Additional Information

If the device orientation is defined in the LAM file, the Generate All From Source command uses that value during layout generation. Else, the value defined using the lxGenerationOrientation is considered.
