LEF Property Definitions

[PROPERTYDEFINITIONS
    [objectType propName propType [RANGE min max]  [value | "stringValue"]
    ;] ... 
END PROPERTYDEFINITIONS]

The LEF PROPERTYDEFINITIONS are not stored in OpenAccess. When you write LEF, search all database objects that have corresponding LEF objects, and list any properties found. Properties used for storing LEF attributes in OpenAccess must be filtered, as they should not appear in the LEF file proper.

Certain characters are illegal in LEF property names and property values. These are the quotation character ("), semicolon, and newline. If a LEF file uses the pound character (#) as a comment character, that character is also an illegal character in property names and values. If illegal characters are encountered in a property name or value, the name or value is silently ignored during translation.

For API information, see all the iterators in the appropriate LEF object sections, and see PROPERTIES for a list of the property objects.
