updateWithMarkers

layoutXL updateWithMarkers boolean { t | nil }

Specifies how the Update Components And Nets command updates an instance with an incorrect master.

The default is nil, which means the command automatically removes the incorrect instance and replaces it with an instance of the correct master in the same location.
When set to t, the command puts a marker on the instance with an incorrect master and renames it name_old during the Update Components And Nets command. It then creates a new instance with the correct master and places it below the PR boundary.
This environment variable is honored only when updateReplacesMasters is set to t.

Command:

Connectivity – Update – Components And Nets (Update tab)

Field:

Update Instance Masters by (Replacing the Old or Creating a New) Instance
