abutClass Property
abutClass string t_user_defined_name
Description
Specifies that two cells can abut even if their master cellviews are not the same.
You can place this property on an individual pin or on a cellview in order to implement a global abutment class for all the pins in the cellview. The abutment function checks for the property first on the pin and then on the cellview.
When you place this property on a pin, remember that each pin targeted for abutment can belong to only one abutment class. Pins on different edges of a cell can belong to different classes.
Instances set to different abutClass values can be abutted if the abutClass values are set as equivalent using the equivalentAbutClasses environment variable.

Example
dbReplaceProp(leftObj~>dbId "abutClass" "string" d_layer)
