PCell: select parameter from drop-down?

StefanSL

 Dear all,

for a pCell, i need to implement the possibility to make layer and purpose accessible
as parameters;

currently i've defined two parameters, the user has to fill in the name of the layer;
this is a bit tedious and the user needs to know the exact name of the layer, it's often
more than just 2 characters.

Is there a way to implement a drop-down-list that shows a set of layers (or lpps) to select
from (like in the attribute-panel for shapes)?

thanks for your help

Stefan

     Hi Danilo,

    thanks for your fast response;

    are you sure this field can be used within a pCell?
    Could you please give me some hints how to accomplish this?

    Another approach might be to implement my own form to
    make all parameters accessible
    (from thispcellinst~>?? and thispcellinst~>master~>parameters~>prop)
    but i didn't want to re-invent the wheel, so if there's a built-in function...

    kind regards

    Stefan
