how to promote stretch handfle option from a sub cell instance?

solx

 hello,

I call in my pcell some strechable sub cells.

the pb that when my pcell is generated; the sub cells (strechable) which I use are no longer strechable.

I would like to know if some one hase this pb?

how can I make/promote the strech handle option in my sub cells?

thanks in advance,

  •  Hi,

    The only way that the sub cells can be altered is through their formal parameters; when these were placed and graphically stretched, you were modifying the pcell parameters, just in a graphical way.  So, if you want to be able to graphically stretch sub cells, your new pcell will need to have a parameter and an associated stretch handle in order to be able to do this (I think - I've never tried this, but it seems perfectly reasonable).  I don't know if there is a way to "promote" the sub-cells' stretch handles directly, without having a parameter in the new pcell that instantiates these cells, since this would break the above "rule" (The only way that a pcell should be modified is through its formal parameters).

    I hope that this helps.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
