Open Access Magnification problem

llobak
Hi, I'm currently migrating for cdb to oa and I face a problem. would appreciate it if I can get some help here. I have a set of labels(layout drawn in certain layer used for labelling purpose), which I used to place in certain cells for labelling. The problem I faced in OA is that I could not size up this labels. I did research around and found that this occur because OA does not define magnification as an attribute for changing the resolution of an instance, is this statement correct? Thanks for the help

  • Well, Open Access does not support the magnification attribute on instances, but not sure if that's your problem or not.

    In order to get around this, there's a SKILL function called dbCreateXformPCell() which will take a cellView and create a "viewName_xform" view which does support the magnifcation property (this emulates it by creating a pcell which instantiates the original view, flattens, and then scales).

    That is of course assuming that this is actually your problem. It only would be if you're creating instances and expecting the magnification to work on an instance.
