Concept HDL - global signal shorted

DavidP

Hello,

I have the following problem:

In the schematic if I change from a power symbol  to a another one (like 2.5V to 1.5V). The Check routine returns me an error:

Severity : Error (HDL Direct)
Description : ERROR(SPCOHD-541): Global signal P2V5 is shorted with another global signal P1V5.
Two global signals can not be shorted.

If you want to short these global signals, add them in Allowed Global Shorts list in Design Entry HDL setup options.
 

In fact the signal attached to the wire can not be overwritten when the power symbol is changed, it keeps the old value.

Any Idea how to reset it ?

    Do you want (global) signals to be shorted and if that's the case, is your question how to make the error go away OR are you saying that you don't want the global signals shorted in which case your question is how to make the tool to not report this error?

    If you want global signals shorted (i.e. your design is good) then click Tools > Options > Output > specify the names of global signalsin Signal1 and Signal2 columns

    I'm aware how to short 2 global signals. 

    My problem is:

    I have a power symbol with 1.5V connected to a wire and I changed my mind so I want this wire to be on 2.5V.

    So I change my power symbol for 2.5V but the signal proprety on the wire is still 1.5V (the old value) and it creates a short during the check. I would like to know how to force my wire to update to the new value.

    For a single change, I can delete my wires and do it again but for a full board with tens of changes, I would like to have a global command.

    Try the global property change Tools - Global Change - Global Property change, the property is HDL_POWER = 1V5 to HDL_POWER = 2V5. I would suggest a backup of the circuit first though as there is no undo for this command. You might need to expand your design first as well.

    Thanks

    I did somethink similar.

    Global Proprety Delete and I choose SIG_NAME / 1V5. Everything has been removed and then restored to a good value after a save command.
