Hi all.

I designed PCell using SKILL (for example "Seal ring" with three parameters: "Description", "X Die Dimension", "Y Die Dimension"). As you can see at picture, number of digits in dimension-parameters depend on parameter value.

("X Die Dimension", "Y Die Dimension":
Parameter's type - "string", Parse as Number - "yes", Units - "lengthMetric")

Does anybody know, how I can manage this number of digits?

Also,
I would like use meters for parameters unit (u), but an incorrect process occure when I stretch my PCell with stretch handle.
As I understand, when stretch handle meet parameter in meters (for example: x=100u), it understand this parameter in microns.
Thus, stretch handle interpret parameter as (x=100u)*1e-6 => (x=100)*1e-12.
How can I force stretch handle to count parameters in meters?

Thanks.

The problem I see is that layout already assumes microns for a dimension therefore the size in the form means 900 micro microns. Use parameter type=float. Units=none
