PLACE_RIGHT add an instance of model modelname in the current layout cell.
The bottom left corner of the abutment box of the instance is placed,
after beeing symetrized and/or rotated, toward the bottom right corner of
the abutment box of the reference instance". The newly placed instance
becomes the reference instance".
The insname is the name given to the instance and must be unique at a
given hierarchy level.
The symetry argument can take eight legal values :
The model of the figure to be placed must be available, on disk or in memory. The path to the library is specified in the MBK_CATA_LIB (1) and MBK_WORK_LIB (1) environment variables, and its format is given by the MBK_IN_PH (1) environment variable.
PLACE_RIGHT impossible : missing DEF_PHFIG" No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place an instance inside it. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action. PLACE_RIGHT impossible : No previous instance" There are no instances placed in the current layout cell, so it's impossible to know where to place from. Use a PLACE call before. illegal addphins : transformation is x in insname" The symetry parameter is not one of the define given, but has the integer value x.
