How to set the order of a PCell's Parameters?

aakhavan

In Cadence 5, the order of the pcells parameters in the Create Instance form was set by the order of the parameters in the pcDefinePCell function. However, using the same code in Cadence 6.1.5 results in the parameters being in a seemingly arbitrary order in the Create Instance form. Has anyone experienced this or found a work around?

  • I see what you mean. If I do a cv~>parameters~>value~>name in the IC615 CIW, the parameter order comes up in the strange way where the first one defined is last (i.e. NY B1 B2 NX). In IC5141, however, it comes up reversed, i.e. B2 B1 NY NX, thus that solution would work.

    Is there any way to set the hierProp order? In the meantime, I'll try the code you posted; thanks.

    Edit: The code works great. Thanks again for the help.
