    Hi "solx",

    I agree with Lawrence - you'd have to make the parent (of the sub-cell) a pcell, and you'd have to pass some parameters down to the child instance, and then use rodAssignHandleToParam (or whatever the function is called) to create stretch handles in the new pcell. There's nothing to automatically do this promotion, because it would unlikely that a general solution would suit anyone's specific needs.

    And by the way, it's a bit cheeky sending a chasing post only an hour or so after your original post. This is a community forum (it's not official support) so you are getting responses from volunteers (outside and inside Cadence). It's also a public holiday in some parts of the world (like where I am). If it's that urgent you should log a service request with http://support.cadence.com .

    Regards,

    Andrew
