Loading PCB constraints into Capture

Sagetech
Sagetech 3 hours ago

I have a PCB design with multiple constraints that were done in CM. Couldn't figure out why each time I loaded a new netlist from Capture that several of the constraints were changed. Realized that changes made in PCB CM are not loaded back into Capture.

Found the procedure in Capture to load them back which has me "sync" Capture with the board but that just carries the schematic constraints into the PCB again which is what I don't want. I want to go from PCB to Capture with the constraints.

In Capture, under PCB/Update Schematic it tells me that the two are not in "sync" and that I need to do "update layout" then "update schematic" but doing this changes the constraints in layout - which is what I don't want.

To summarize, how do I get the constraints, already defined in PCB Editor, into Capture?

Thanks, 

Tom
