Errors

GET_REF_X impossible : missing DEF_PHFIG" No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a reference inside it. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action. GET_REF_X impossible : missing DEF_PHFIG" No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a reference inside it. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action. GET_REF_X impossible : no abutment box" The current figure does not have an abutment box. Use DEF_AB(3) before this function.
illegal GET_REF_X : orientation is XX" The face parameter does not have a legal value, but XX. illegal getphins : instance called insname does not exist" No instance called insname exists in the current figure illegal getphref : references called refname does not exist" No reference called refname exists in the model of the instance insname.

Example

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
/* Create a figure to work on */ DEF_PHFIG("cell");
PLACE("gaci0_b", r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L); /* Put a reference */
GET_REF_X("r1", a_0", ALU2, 2, NORTH); /* Save that on disk */
SAVE_PHFIG();
}
