updateReplacesMasters

layoutXL updateReplacesMasters boolean { t | nil }

Description

Updates any existing instances that use an incorrect master with instances that use the correct master during the Update Components And Nets command.

When set to t,

• With updateWithMarkers also set to t, the system puts a marker on the incorrect instance in the layout canvas and renames it name_old. It then creates a new instance with the correct master and places it below the design boundary.
• With updateWithMarkers set to nil, the system updates the instance in place to use the correct master.

When set to nil, the binding to the incorrect master is accepted with a warning message in the log file.

The default is t.
