lxPositionUseInstPrB

layoutXL lxPositionUseInstPrB boolean { t | nil }

Description

Controls whether the Generate All From Source and Place As In Schematic commands use instance master place and route boundary or instance bounding box to space instances during positioning.

The default is nil, which means the instance bounding box is used to space instances by lxPositionMinSep.

If set to t, instances are spaced using the instance master place and route boundary. If instance masters have shapes outside the place and route boundary, the Generate All From Source or Place As In Schematic positioning could result in shorts.
