NAME

       GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON_FACE - copy a physical connector from an instance in the current figure

SYNOPSYS

       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON_FACE(face, conname, insname, newname)
       long index;
       char *insname;
       char *conname;
       char *newname;

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

PARAMETERS

       face		   Connector face in the instance

       conname		   Name of the connector in the instance model

       insname		   Name of the instance the connector belongs to

       newname		   Name to be given to the connector in the current figure

DESCRIPTION

       COPY_UP_CON_FACE copies a instance connector into the current layout figure, and gives to the new connector the name newname.  The face and
       conname arguments are not suffiscient for non ambiguiously identify a single connector.	So, if more than one connector matches these argu-
       ments, the behaviour described below is applied on all of them.
       Two behaviour are expected, depending on the instance connector location regarding the abutment box of the current figure.

       Connector on the abutment box
			   The figure connector is place right over the instance connector. The single connector is duplicated.

       Connector inside the abutment box
			   The instance connector face is computed in the figure, and then, the connector is duplicated on the given face, at  the
			   right  coordinates  for this face.  Then a wire is drawn between the instance connector and the figure connector in the
			   connector layer.

ERRORS

       "GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON_FACE impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
	      No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to	place  a  connector  inside  it.   you	must  call
	      DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
       "*** genlib error *** GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON_FACE impossible : connector conname face face of instance insname, current figure doesn't exist"
	      No connector matches both the conname and the face arguments.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
	    /* Create a figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	    .
	    .
	    GENLIB_PLACE_LEFT("gaer0_f", "insN", SYMXY);
	    .
	    .
	    GENLIB_DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
	    /* Put a connector */
	    GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON_FACE("i0", 1, "insN", "inz0");
	    /* Save that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
