    If my understand is correct, you can refer to this post

    Hi Mihir,

    In addition to what Max says, what  you'd be looking at with inst~>master~>bBox is not the prBoundary but the overall bounding box of the subMaster - which includes any shapes that protrude beyond the prBoundary (assuming there is actually a prBoundary object within the PCell). If you wanted just the prBoundary (if there is one), then it would be:

    inst~>master~>prBoundary~>bBox

    By the way, if you really wanted to get the PCell evaluated with the default parameters, then it would (usually) be: inst~>master~>superMaster~>bBox or inst~>master~>superMaster~>prBoundary~>bBox .

    Regards,

    Andrew.
