Symbol/Schematics for Ultra Style PCell

meredith
meredith over 10 years ago

I have created three PCells and combined them into one PCell using a callback with the radio button option.  For example, the user instantiates PCell Top on the create instance form or edit objects form there is a radio button with three options PCell A, PCell B and PCell C.  Each of these PCell's contains different connectivity but all three have the same BJT's.  

Is it possible to create one top or master symbol to reference three different schematics in the same fashion as PCell Top (place one symbol, depending on the radio button the user descends into schematic for PCell A, PCell B or PCell C)?  I have seen a couple of discussions reference a super-symbol but I can not find any documentation explaining how to create a super-symbol or what a super-symbol is.

I'm running CIC 6.1.6 ISR 12.
