 Assume I have alread a pcell library and I would like to create another pcell, which has an instant object of the first pcell.

Could anyone give me a simple example?

    Hi Peter,

    The parameters list for dbCreateParamInstByMasterName needs to be a list of lists, something like this:

    dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(pv "TechLib" "M2_M1a" "layout" nil list(0 0) "R0" 1 list(list("Rows" "int" 5)))

    I think that should work.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
