cell view cleanup - instHeader without insts

[Marcel Preda]

Hi there,


I have a problem with a layout cell view, an instHeader that points to
unexisting libName/cellName .
Even if there are no instances associated to this instHeader (ih-

instances == nil) some dive extract rules reafuse to run, I get
mesaage: can not open (lib cell) in mode r becauseit does not exists .

How can I cleanup the cell, to get ride of this instHeader without
instances ?


BR,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,

dbFix(cv ?reBind t)

should do this. The only case where they should remain is for pcell superMasters
(which should exist in the instHeaders, but have no direct references, as the
only references will be from the subMasters).

Regards,

Andrew.
