    I'm working on a Cadence layout project and am facing the following
    problem. I'm following the instructions from a reference manual to
    creat a pmos pcell. The manual describes a pcell which expands upwards
    in width but my pcell has to expand downwards. The stretch line has
    been defined by me and that works. The problem lies in getting the
    contacts to repeat. The commands in the manual (some of which I have
    changed to suit my pcell) are as follows :

    Stepping Distance : 1.5 (This is the stepping distance I rtequire for
    my pcell)
    Number of repetitions : fix(width-0.8)/pcStep (width is the stretch
    parameter I have defined and I want a distance of 0.8 between the last
    contact and the edge of the pdiff)
    Dependent Stretch :
    Adjustment to Stretch : ((fix(pcRepeatY)-1)*pcStepY)

    What happens when I use these commands is that the pdiff stretches
    downwards as defined but the repeated contacts are created upwards
    resulting in the contacts lying outside the pmos. What modifications
    should I make to these commands so that the contacts are created in
    the downward direction too.

    Thanks,
    Ashish.
