set_location

Assigns a cell instance to the location specified by the x,y coordinates. The placer cannot relocate the cell instance during place-and-route.

set_location (x, y ) hier_inst_name ;

set_location (x_bl ,y_bl x_tr ,y_tr  ) hier_inst_name/*;

Arguments

x, y

Specifies the tile coordinates for the location of a cell.

hier_inst_name

Specifies the hierarchical path to a cell instance.

x_bl ,y_bl x_tr ,y_tr

Specifies the tile coordinates for the bottom-left and top-right corner of the region.

set_location macro call

This statement has been extended to allow you to place a sub-design instance by calling its macro and then applying a translation and rotation.

set_location (x, y) hier_subdesign_inst_name macro_name

[transformations];

where

hier_subdesign_inst_name is the hierarchical name of the instance of the sub-design; (x, y) is the final location of the lower left corner of the macro after all transformations have been completed; macro_name is the name of the previously defined macro; transformations are optional, and any of the following in any order:

• flip lr - flip cell from left to right

• flip ud - flip cell from up to down

• rotate 90 cw - rotate 90 ° clockwise

• rotate 180 cw - rotate 180 ° clockwise

• rotate 270 cw - rotate 270 ° clockwise

• rotate 90 ccw - rotate 90 ° counter-clockwise

• rotate 180 ccw - rotate 180 ° counter-clockwise
