Layout XL : Connectivity - Update Function

amssshubham

Hi All,

Suppose in a schematic I named a wire "A" and then did the layout, later on, i changed the name of the particular net to say "B".Now when i do connectivity- update-Components & Nets-Update Nets and Instance Name mismatch only in Layout XL.I get the following symbols in magenta color. What do these represent and how can I remove them from my layout?

    Hello,

    The icon that you have in your layout have been generated by Check Against Source.

    You can click on them to see waht is the issue or you can open the Annotation Browser and see what they are.

    You can also delete them form the Annotation Browser in CAS tab.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    You can try to update the binding with Connectivity->Update->Binding in the Layout XL menu. Check the option 'Preserve Existing Bindings' and then update. You may also have to update the pin properties on connected blocks in the navigator menu. Those magenta symbols are actually markers so you can also just remove them by deleting markers with Verify->Markers->Delete All.

    would i be able to do the vice versa. suppose i update some device parameters in the layout and if I want that to be reflected in the schematic ? I do see Connectivity->update->schematic parameters. But that doesnt seem to be working

    That should work. You either need to pre-select the instances that you want to update, or if you haven't got anything selected you would select them and then press the Enter key (for example) and then you'll get a popup telling you what it did.

    It's possible (if there's hierarchy in the schematic, and the hierarchy is parameterised) that you can't update the schematic parameters (because the sub-block definition may end up as multiple different-sized components in the layout after editing), but I'm assuming that's not your problem here.
