Can pPar pass cyclic's field value from parent?

kb how
kb how over 12 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to create a wrapper pcell which required to pass value from parent. Unfortunately i encounter some issue in passing down the value where the cdf field is cyclic with below message:

\w *WARNING* Effective CDF parameter 'LAYER', cell 'scv', library 'myTechLib',
\w >--Value is not one of the specified choices.

May i know is there a way to pPar from parent's value where field is cyclic?

 Thanks in advance.

    The only thing I can suggest is setting the property on the instance with SKILL. I don't know whether this will work properly during netlisting etc - I'll leave you to check that:

    car(geGetSelSet())~>theCyclicProp="pPar(\"parent\")"

    Where theCyclicProp is whatever the name of the cyclic property. That way you can probably get away without it being one of the choices...
