CDF-params should be accessible for the cell?

[amanjun]

CDF-gurus,
I am trying to place cells with all “valid” combinations of cdf params for XOR purpose. The command I am using to get cdf params is:
cdfId = cdfGetBaseCellCDF( cv )
It is giving ALL the cdf params defined in the cdf file instead of the ones jus used by this cell. We have some extra params defined in the cdf file we maintain (n and p type devices share the same file, but the params used differ for each cell).
Now I have to somehow filter out params which are not needed for certain cells; otherwise I am getting either pCell eval failed or unnecessary cycling thru the params which are not used in a given cell, but they are in the CDF file.

thanks.
Is there a better way to get the CDF params ONLY displayed in the gui (property editor) for the cell in question?

You'd have to evaluate the display callback for each CDF parameter to
find out if it is displayed or not. You could also check against the
pcell parameters (superMasterCvId~>parameters) to see if it is a pcell
parameter.
