    Hi

    Can you give more details? 

    Are you within a board or a symbol.

    If you're within a symbol what outline are you looking for, place_bound, dfa or something else

    Best regards

    My experience of this tool is not enough that I couldn't give you a proper Information.

    Maybe, for me, place_bound is needed.

    Also, Could you explain what dfa is?

    It would be helpful for my future automation development

    Thanks
