its pretty self explanatory. sets the attribute of either cells/nets/pin/port or in general any object's attribute is set using this command.


For example, if the object is a cell, we can constrain the area of a cell using this command

set_attribute cell(object_list) area(object_name) 20(attribute)


To get an idea of what attribute can be set to these objects, look at the man page for the attribute in dc_shell.

Hi,

To change a Maximum fan-out value specified for the pin 'Z' of a cell "BUFF0" of library BUF from 4.0 to 2.0, use the set_attribute command.

set_attribute [get_pins BUF/BUFF0/Z] max_fanout 2

This is useful for cases, where a global change is required.

Regards,
CSuresh
