„ If you specify “global turns into: delete”, then all global labels will be
deleted during flattening.
You can also specify whether the label names are preserved or flattened. If they are
preserved, they may conflict with other existing labels with the same name.
„ To avoid this, flattening the label names will cause the labels to be renamed to
something like: “cellname.labelname” where “cellname” is the instance name
of the cell that was flattened, and “labelname” was the label name in the cell that
was flattened.

Cell Ids — If set to “flatten” Cell Ids are flattened by prepending the name of the
parent cell to this name. If set to “preserve”, the Cell Ids are retained, but may be
made unique by appending “_n” where n is a number.
Hierarchical name sep — Allows you to enter a unique character to act as a
hierarchical name separator.
Generate
Layers
Hotkey: None
Auto-generate the specified layers by using DRC rules from the current technology file to
surround existing geometry in the current cell.
New layers are placed into an overlay cell that can then be flattened, if desired.
