版图PCELL制作步骤

PCELL(开始学Pcell时整理出来的，因为太长了也就没有精力再翻译过来，大家就将就一下。

新版本的使用者，虽然有QPcell来制作，但阅读本文也可以对以前制作P cell有一个了解。

)What you can find in this manual.Explanation of the pcell menu, convention of modeling pcell and some instanc es. In addition to saying pcell is parameterized cell.What Are the Parameters?Stretch a group of objects in the X direction, Y direction, or bothInclude or exclude groups of objectsRepeat a group of objects in the X direction, Y direction, or bothModify polygons, paths, or rectangles during placement of the Pcell instance Repeat object along the border of a parameterized shapePlace objects relative to the endpoint of a parameterized pathPlace objects relative to a reference pointInherit parameters form any level of hierarchy to the higher levelChange the layer and purpose of group of objectsCustomize a labelCreate properties whose values are dependent on the parameter valuesPCELL MENUTools Pcell the pcell menu will appear in the dynamic menu. It includes som e tools that are used to make the Pcell.Stretch →stretch in X/ stretch in Y/ Qualify /Modify /RedefineStretch in X …Defines how to stretch the objects horizontally.Stretch in Y…Defines how to stretch the objects in a cellview in the vertical direction. QualifySpecify which objects are affected by a stretch control line. By default, all obj ects not in repetition groups are affected by the stretch control line.ModifyModify the parameters for a stretch control line.RedefineLets you redefine a previously defined stretch control line or change the param eters assigned to a stretch control line.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineStretch(“right”)▪pcHIDefineStretch(“up”)▪pcHIQualifyStretchLine( )▪pcHIModifyStretchLine( )▪pcHIRedefineStretchLine( )Conditional Inclusion→Define / Modify / Delete /ShowDefine …Assigns a conditional inclusion parameter to a selected group of objects Modify …Change the objects associated with a conditional inclusion or change the expres sion controlling.DeleteDelete a conditional inclusion definition.ShowHighlights objects in a conditional inclusion group and display information abo ut the group.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineCondition( )▪pcHIModifyCondition( )▪pcHIDeleteCondition( )▪pcHIDisplayCondition( )Repetition→Repeat in X / Repeat in Y / Repeat in X and Y / Modify / D elete/ShowRepeat in X …Defines objects to be repeated horizontally.Repeat in Y …Defines objects to be repeated vertically.Repeat in X and YDefines objects to be repeated both horizontally and vertically.ModifyChanges a previously defined repetition parameter. Changes the objects in the r epetition group or parameters assigned to the repetition group.DeleteDeletes a repetition parameter assigned to a group of objects.ShowHighlights objects in a repetition group and information about the group.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineRepeat( “horizontal”)▪pcHIDefineRepeat(“vertical”)▪pcHIDefineRepeat(“2D”)▪pcHIModifyRepeat( )▪pcHIDeleteRepeat( )▪pcHIDisplayRepeat( )Parameterized Shapes→Define/Modify / Delete / ShowDefine/ModifyAssigns the vertices of a shape as parameters of the Pcell. You can define pat hs, polygons, rectangles, circles, ellipses, or donuts as parameterized shapes.DeleteDeletes the parameters associated with a polygon, path, or rectangle.ShowHighlights a parameterized shape and displays information about the shape and its parameters.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineParameterizedShape( )▪pcHIDeleteParameterizedShape( )▪pcHIDisplayParameterizedShape( )Repetition Along Shape→Define / Modify / Delete / ShowDefine …Repeats an object or group of objects along a coordinate string controlling a p arameterized shape.Modify …Change a previously defined repetition along shape parameter. Changes the obj ects to be repeated along the parameterized shape or the parameterized shape it self.DeleteDeletes a repetition along shape parameter.ShowHighlights objects in a repetition along shape group and information about it.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineSteppedObject( )▪pcHIModifySteppedObject( )▪pcHIDeleteSteppedObject( )▪pcHIDisplaySteppedObject( )Reference Point→Define by Path Endpoint / Define by Parameter / Modify /Delete / ShowDefine by Path Endpoint …Specifies that the location of an object or group of objects be determined by l ocation of the endpoint of a parameterized path.Define by Parameter …Specifies that the location of an object or group of objects be determined by a reference point parameter in the cell. In addition to the master origin of the cell, you can specify a parameterized origin for the associated objects.ModifyModify a reference point parameter. You can use this command to modify eith er a reference point defined by the reference point by parameter form or the r eference point by path endpoint form.DeleteDeletes a previously defined reference point parameter.ShowHighlights objects in a reference point group and display information about it.SKILL function▪pcHIDefinePathRefPointObject( )▪pcHIDefineParamRefPointObject( )▪pcHIModifyRefPointObject( )▪pcHIDeleteRefPointObject( )▪pcHIDisplayRefPointObject( )Inherited Parameters→Define/Modify/ ShowDefine/Modify …Specifies that the Pcell child gets some or all of its parameter values form the parent in which the child instance is placed. You can specify that individual parameter values of the parent Pcell be passed to the child Pcell when you pla ce the Pcell parent in your design.ShowHighlights the child cell instance in an inherited parameter group and display i nformation about the group.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineInheritedParameter( )▪pcHIDisplayInheritedParameter( )Parameterized Layer→Define / Modify /Delete / ShowDefineAssigns a layer parameter to selected objects in a Pcell so you can change the layer of the objects when you place the Pcell.ModifyChanges a layer parameter associated with a group of objects.DeleteRemove a layer parameter from a group of objects.ShowHighlights a group of shapes in parameterized layer group and displays inform ation about the group.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineLayer( )▪pcHIModifyLayer( )▪pcHIDeleteLayer( )▪pcHIDisplayLayer( )Parameterized Label→Define/ ModifyDefine…Places a parameterized label on a instance of a Pcell.ModifyModifies a parameterized label you have associated with object.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineLabel( )▪pcHIModifyLabel( )Parameterized Property→Define/Modify/ Delete /ShowDefine/Modify…Attaches parameterized properties to a Pcell.DeleteDeletes one parameterized property at a time from a Pcell.ShowDisplay the parameterized properties assigned in current cellview.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineProp( )▪pcHIDeleteProp( )▪pcHIDisplayProp( )Parameters→Edit Parameters/ SummarizeEdit Parameters…Displays a list of all completed parameters defined for the cellview. You can change the DataType and Value fields for all parameters.SummarizeDisplay a summary of all parameters defined for the current cellview, includin g parameters added since the last compile.SKILL function▪pcHIEditParameters( )▪pcModifyParam(d_cv s_param t_paramType g_ParamExpr)▪pcHIShowParams( )▪pcHISummarizeParams( )Compile→To Pcell / To SKILL FileTo Pcel l …Create a Pcell in the datatype from the design in the current window. If you do not compile a Pcell before you place an instance of it in another design, t he system interprets the design as a standard fixed cell instead of a Pcell. Eac h time you edit the graphic Pcell, you must recompile it so that all placed ins tance reflect the changes.To SKILL File…Creates a SKILL file from the data in the current cellview the file can then b e edited as any skill file.SKILL function▪pcHIDefineParamCell( )▪pcHICompileTo|Skill( )Make Ultra PcellCombines several Pcells into one Pcell.SKILL function▪auHiUltraPcell( )OK.
