updateSelectedComponents

layoutXL updateSelectedComponents boolean { t | nil }

Description

Specifies that the Update Components And Nets command updates only the instances and pins currently selected in the layout window.

The default is nil.

This environment variable automatically disables the generation of new components. However, if updateWithMarkers is set to t, Layout XL may generate new instances to replace existing instances with incorrect masters; you have the option to switch on automatic chaining and folding for these new instances.
