auCDL, question about ansCdlSubcktCall netlist procedure!

Hi all!

I have a question about termOreder when we are using ansCdlSubcktCall  netlist procedure.

I have device ptap1.

There is auCdl section of this device:

cdfId->simInfo->auCdl = '( nil
   netlistProcedure ansCdlSubcktCall
   instParameters  (r w l) 
   propMapping     (nil r R)
   namePrefix        "X"
   modelName       "ptap1"
   termOrder          (TIE SUB)
   componentName "resistor"
)

and I've created test schematic (see attached picture)

And when I export this schematic in cdl, we have following netlist:

.SUBCKT ptap1_a a1
*.PININFO a1:I
XR0 net02 a1 / ptap1 r=262.847 w=780.00n l=780.00n
MN0 net4 net6 net5 net02 sg13_lv_nmos m=1 w=150.00n l=130.00n ng=1
.ENDS

.SUBCKT ptap1 TIE SUB
.ENDS

The question is, that in auCdl section we have termOredet TIE, SUB (and auCdl view also) and I expected, that in my netlist I'll see XR0 a1 net02, but in real netlist I see: net02, a1.

If I will use ansCdlCompPrim netlist procedure - all works fine:

.SUBCKT ptap1_a a1
*.PININFO a1:I
RR0 a1 net02 $[ptap1]
MN0 net4 net6 net5 net02 sg13_lv_nmos m=1 w=150.00n l=130.00n ng=1
.ENDS

.SUBCKT ptap1 TIE SUB
.ENDS

Could you pls. tell me, how to resolve this issue?

    I think I've already found an answer, need to the .simrc file add following: auCdlCDFPinCntrl = t.

    Yes, that's the answer.
