Im building a pCell and instantiating a symbolic pTap but need to override the default contact overlap. I can instantiate it but cannot find a way to override the default. Im user IC6.1.4 my Code: ;; Get the database id of the ptap symbolic ptapId = dbOpenCellViewByType("tsmcN65" "M1_SUB" "symbolic") ;; Create a parameterized instance of it using the parameters passed in ptapInst=dbCreateParamInst(cv ptapId "ptapBulk" 1.6:1.4 "R0" 1 list( list("row" "float" pTapRowCnt/0.25-3 ) list("column" "float" cellWidth*2+1 ) list("xBias" "string" "center" ) list("yBias" "string" "bottom") list("xPitch" "float" 0.25 ) list("yPitch" "float" 0.25 ) list("encByLayer1" "float" 0.2) list("encByLayer2" "float" 0.2) list("layer1ImpEnc" "float" 0.2) list("layer2ImpEnc" "float" 0.2) ) ) dbClose(ptapId) Ive dumped the contact code and here is the header: dbiPDDCreateContact(tcCellView viaLayer layer1 layer2 encByLayer1 encByLayer2 layer1ImpLayer layer1ImpEnc layer2ImpLayer layer2ImpEnc w l row column xPitch yPitch xBias yBias ) I can instantiate and change the enclosue with create contact interactively and it looks like its on a different page: le4ViaForm->viaSingleModeScrollView->parameters->page1->layer1EncLeft-[QUOTE] value=0.05[/QUOTE] How can I code this into my pcell? Thanks Rick
