Virtuoso XL Layout Editor User Guide
Preparing Instances and Pins in Your Layout for the Virtuoso XL Layout Editor
The permuteRule property appears in the Edit Cellview Properties form.
8.Click OK.
After you generate or reinitialize the layout, Virtuoso XL uses the permutability of the pins you indicated.
Setting the permuteRule Property in the Symbol Instance
To set a property on a symbol instance in the schematic, follow these steps.
1.From the schematic window, choose Design – Make Editable to make the design editable.
2.Click on the symbol to select it.
3.Choose Edit – Properties – Objects.
