The compiler places and routes cells from a standard-cell library.
One such library comes with Electric, but it is old and you will
probably want your own. The manual describes the cells that the
library should have. The compiler places and routes a netlist that
makes reference to the cells in the library. If you have VHDL code,
it is compiled to the netlist first. And if you are converting a
schematic cell, then it actually generates VHDL for that schematic,
compiles the VHDL, and then places and routes the netlist.

So you can see what it's doing by looking at the VHDL cell that gets
created. It should refer to cells in your standard cell library.

Dear Steven 

I have stick to electric because of the free licence philosophy. 

Thank you for the explanation. I have never try to use vhdl with electric. I always want it. 

I will make some simple examples and i let you know.

Do you have any working examples to test ?

Best regards
