re-eval contacts

Hi guys,

 I am using ICFB5.1.41_USR4 and I created instances of pcells and contacts using dbCreateParamInstByMasterName. I got the layout that I want but the contacts` Rows and Columns parameter values are both "0" once checked on the properties window although I have the correct contacts layout based on what I specified on the l_params options during generation.

I needed to use dbCreateParamsInstByMasterName because I have to specify the instance name, otherwise I could just use leCreateContact but you cannot assign instance name using this (saved on the ROD tab).

 Do I need to re-evaluate my contacts to have the correct parameter values in the params window, same as what needs to be done for pcells? If so how can I do this? I am using the gpdk090 library.

 Thanks and best regards,

/Andal
