Cross Probing

archive

Is it possible to cross probe between your schematic and PCB in Allegro? If so, where/how do I activate this? Thanks

Sandy

  • Hi Sandy,

    It's been 12 or so years since I've done this so things may have changed a bit. Hopefully others can chime in. I'll assume you are using Concept HDL or Capture.

    Open Concept (or Capture) and Allegro from the Project Manager. Then for example, to place components select the Place > Manually in Allegro. Move the cursor over the Concept canvas and select a logical part then move the cursor over the Allegro canvas. You should see the physical component attached to the cursor. Place the physical component at the desired location.

  • Same for highlighting.

    First be in highlight mode in Allegro (Display > Hilight), then highlight in Design Entry HDL (Display> Highlight). Pick a symbol or net and the corresponding symbol or net will highlight in Allegro.

    The design must be in sync between the board and schematic.

  • I have Design Entry CIS. I have done what the help files and what you guys said and it still doesn't work. The schematic and board were successfully linked after converting the board from Orcad following Allegros conversion process. I just can't figure out what I am missing.

  • Perhaps there is something that would help in Sourcelink doc 11057408. If nothing there helps I would suggest contacting Cadence Customer Support.
