How to check if all component pins are connected in ConceptHDL.

peter zhu
One important check step for schematic design is component pin connection check. It will check all component pins are connected other than pins that are placed with NOCHECK symbol, like ORCAD capture. But it seems ConceptHDL can not do such important check in CheckPlus. Also it seems there is no NOCHECK symbol meet our requirement, all NOCHECK symbol placed on the pin will connect to this pin and named a signal, which confuse PCB engineer since a net name assigned. Does ConecepHDL have such function?  This is a very easy-to-use function in Orcad capture. This function should meet:1.      check all component pins are connected other than pins that are placed with NOCHECK symbol which design engineer has confirm don’t need to connect.2.      The NOCHECK symbol placed on the pins will not introduce any new net name.

    Have a look at checkplus under Physcial Rules - Design_guidelines.rle. The one you want is phys_unconnected_pins. For reference if you select a rule then RMB - Help you will get the specific rule meaning.
