Help on dbCreateInst function.

Mithun Adiga

Hi,

I have a list of cells that needs to be instantiated in schematic. I chose to use the function dbCreateInstByMasterName() since the list has the library and the cellname. The problem I am facing is when the number of instance is 2, I can never get the function to put 2 instance of the cell. If I give 2 for x_numInst variable it puts <0:2> number of instances and if I give 1 for the x_numInst variable it instantiate only 1(Its suppose to do <0:1> by it logic) instance and if I give 0 it still instantiates 1 instance. 

Thanks,

Mithun.

  • Hi Mithun,

    This is a long-standing known issue (there is CCR 1039244 for it) and after long deliberation at the time, we decided not to fix it for risk of breaking flows dependent upon it.

    If you explicitly specify the instance name (and omit this argument), then it works. So you can do:

    dbCreateInstByMasterName(cvId "mylib" "mycell" "myview" "I1<0:1>" origin "R0")

    Regards,

    Andrew.
