layoutXL Gen from source doesn't give correct sizes.

 If I place my Pcell by hand the cell works fine. Sizes are what I expect them to be.

Gen from source gives me small values that can't be laid out.

The symbol though has "90n M" which doesn't match other tech files I've worked with "90n"

 I've tried two different ways of doing the CDF:

    cdfCreateParam( cdfId
        ?name           "w"
        ?prompt         "width"
        ?defValue       "0.2n"
        ?parseAsNumber  "yes"
        ?type           "string"
        ?units          "lengthMetric"
    )
 

 

I've also tried the following default value:

minMosWidth = 0.2 * 1e-6

?defValue       sprintf(nil "%g" minMosWidth)
 

Neither gives me the desired result.  Any thoughts?

     Yup, I know there isn't a reason. But I've not been able to do it in 2 weeks of trying.

    I've never been this flustrated trying to program in CDS.
