    Any body can help?

    I found the command lxHiUpdateLayoutParameters() used to update layout parameters for selected instances according to schematic, but need open the layout in XL mode and select the instance to update.

    The case is that a lot of schematic updated the parameters for certain pcell let's called "pmos", I want to run the script to the whole lib to check all layouts contain "pmos" and do the update according to schematics.

    Appreciate any helps!!

    Wenckey,

    If this was urgent, you should contact customer support. This is a community forum, and answered by people (including those of us that work for Cadence) in our spare time.

    There isn't a direct equivalent - the closest is this:

    lxRunCmdInXL(layCV 'lxUpdateComponentsAndNets ?cmdArgs list(?updateLayoutParameters t))

    However, that may also do other updates (like create new instances, new pins etc) - you'll need to see if it does more than you want. Otherwise, I think you'd need to speak to customer support. It might need an enhancement (I'm not aware of any current function to directly do what you want).

    Andrew
