Virtuso XL and connectivity issue

Mugurel
Mugurel over 6 years ago

I have been working for many years in IC5 Layout XL and loved the tool. I have worked sporadically some projects in IC  6 in the past, but this year our company decided to switch all the new projects to IC6. The new version has a lot of improvements but also I have an issue that is annoying. It happens when I move a block or when I create a bus by copying a line multiple times. Instead of keeping the connectivity, I am getting a marker over the region of the action and in the annotation browser I see a new item: "unverified connectivity area". If I right click on it and  select "extract unverified area" everything gets back to normal, but it is annoying to do it every time. I guess there is something wrong with my setup, I don't think it is something expected to happen. But all my searches came empty. Anybody can direct me on where to look or what to change to get rid of this issue ?

Thanks,

Mugurel

    Hi Mugurel

    In the "Options" toolbar [Windows->Toolbars->Options], there is a button with a picture of a fire and exclaimation mark. Would you please check if it has been enabled? The function automatically updates connectivity when the design is modified.


    Best regards

    Hi Quek,

    Yes, it is enabled. Most of the time works, when I am drawing the connections one by one for example.
