Placing macros in master/clone partitions

Hello everyone, I'm doing top-down floor-planning that includes two identical instances of a module defined as master & clone partitions. After defining these partitions, I'm running planDesign to place all the macros (they include macros within the partitions, as well as at the top-level). I'm seeing different macro placements in the master and the clone currently, which defeats the whole purpose of cloning. I'm only specifying cell-orientation for the macros in the masterPlan template file, when running planDesign. Is there a way to let planDesign (or multiPlanDesign) know that the macro placements need to be identical within the two partitions? I checked the template but there didn't seem to be a way to specify this explicitly. There doesn't seem to be any related switches in the setPlanDesignMode command either. Regards, --rtl2gds

    For anyone interested, I found the answer to this one. clonePlace is the command that replicates the macro placements from the master into the clone(s)
