pcell conditional include default overrides any selection

gkaatz
When I instantiate a pcell created with the pcell tool, the checkbox on the Create Instance form or Edit Instance Properties has no effect. The default state of the conditional include is shown. It used to work but with various edits has stopped doing so.

  • Lawrence, Yes it is a graphical pcell. The summary shows the conditional include, see below. When the pcell is instantiated, the default state of the conditional inclusion is reflected in the new cell. If I invert the default state and recompile, when I instantiate another cell, the new default state is reflected in the new cell and the first one does not change.
