PCell Parameter Section

Esteban Saavedra
Esteban Saavedra 11 months ago

Hi all,

Currently I'm creating a pcell which display several fields, and related to it, I have some questions (hope there is way to do it) that I couldn't find a solution in the SKILL Pcell documentation:

1. Is there a way make 'Edit Instance Properties' window resizable?

2. Is there a way to make the 'prompt' names custom? Like modify font size, style, etc.?

3. As I mentioned, there are several fields to be displayed, but after some of them, the instantiation window GUI has and overlap, is there any solution to that?

Thank you for the attention, I will appreciate any help.

    To answer your questions:

    1. See Edit Instance Properties can not be resized – How to disable this behavior.
    2. No, CDF doesn't allow that.
    3. This looks like a bug. I don't see that, and I'm slightly surprised as I think this form is a "hiLayout" form. Assuming you're using the latest version (IC23.1 ISR9) and are still  seeing this, you should contact customer support (submit a support case after logging in)
