how to remove the removed cell item from config view list

I think there is no such way to remove missing cells directly from Config. First you have to remove x-marked cell from schematic, then recompute Config.

Indeed - did you press the "Recompute Hierarchy" icon in the toolbar or use View->Update?

There is also the View->Options, General tab, and you can turn on "Auto Update".

Which IC sub-version are you using? I'm not being the behaviour you describe anyway.

Hi Andrew, I do klick the "recompute the hierarchy", but it change nothing...

The IC version is IC618-500.24

Can you try using Right Mouse->Explain over the instance in the tree in the hierarchy editor to see if it throws any light on what's going on? It's a little odd that all three are NONE - normally the lib/cell or cell would still be defined.

Otherwise, I'd suggest trying running oaScan on the schematic with this instance (from the terminal):

oaScan -lib mylib -cell uppertb -view schematic

If this complains about anything, you can run again with the -repair.

This is the explalin result

Ah, that helps. Now I can reproduce it. The issue occurs if you had an instance binding on the instance which is then removed from the schematic. You can solve this by using Right Mouse->Set Instance View-><none> - then recompute the hierarchy and it will be removed from the hierarchy editor.

What it's doing is showing you the fact that the instance (or occurrence) binding still remains in the config (even though it will have no effect) - setting it to none removes the binding.

Hi Andrew, I have set it to none, but still not able to remove it by recompute the hierarchy. 

Also it seems not able to remove item in tree view, but in table view, it can be cleaned. 

I was going to ask you to share the expand.cfg file within the config view but since you've smudged out the names on the image above, that's not going to help much. I would expect there to be an entry in the expand.cfg for the offending instance in the containing cellView - something like:

inst (mylib.uppertb:schematic).I2 binding :functional2;

and then after setting the binding to <none> and saving (actually you don't even need to recompute the hierarchy - saving is enough), it will vanish from the file.

If that's not working, you should contact customer support. I even tried in ISR24 just to check and it behaves for me there.

That's odd, because for me it doesn't even show up in the cell table after I remove the instance.
