Re: How to use dbCreateInstTerm ?

Dear bubu,

In order to create a pin in your Pcell, you need to fellow these
steps:

1. Create the shape that will serve as the pin.
--> ex: fig=dbCreateRect(...)

2. Create the net to which the pin attaches.
--> ex: net=dbCreateNet(...)

3. Create a terminal on the same net.
--> ex. term=dbCreateTerm(...)

4. Create a pin:
--> ex. pin = dbCreatePin(...)

The figure of a pin represents physical implementation and graphical
rendering for the pin. A
pin cannot exist without being attached to a terminal. A terminal
cannot exist without being
attached to a net.

You can then look for your pins using
cvId~>nets~>pins or cvId~>terminals~>pins or any other ...

I've previously posted an example that shows how to get pin figures
from a schematic, it might be helpful for you ...

At the end, please bear in mind that Instance terminals provide an
interface between instance and nets in the design.

Hope this helps ...
Riad.
