I use  IC613 and openaccess database. Is there any skill command to update/refresh the pcell submaster?

Thanks.

     We define the Pcell by the python plug-in. The python scripts geneate the pcell in OpenAccess format. We expect each time we instaniate this pcell in virtuoso layout view, the python scripts will be called. However, we found if we set  new parameters for this pcell, no problem, python scripts will be called. However, if we use the parameters  which has alread been set (which means submaster has been created in memory), python scripts will not be called. That's why I am worndering if refreshing the submaster can help.

     Also I found in the manuel that the "Express Pcell" might help. But I haven't succeeded to lauch the express pcell window. Probably I set the wrong enviorement parameters.

     Thanks for your replying, Andrew.
