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.

  • Little hard to follow, but my guess is that you have a CDF parameter defined and the CDF default is different from the pcell default for this parameter. If you've done that (not a wise idea), then what can happen is that if you instantiate the component where the value on the form matches the CDF default, it omits the property on the instance, and hence the pcell gets the pcell default. If  you have a value which is different from the CDF default, it stores the property on the instance - but since that's the same as the pcell default, you still get the pcell default.

    If you really must have the CDF default different from the pcell default, use storeDefault=yes on that CDF parameter. But it's really best to ensure that the CDF default values match the pcell default values.

    This however is a bit of a guess as to what your problem is - the info supplied above is a big confusing.
