Design Intent Creation

---

You can create a design intent using the Create Design Intent Form. The type of object selected in the Navigator or on the canvas determines the type of design intent that can be created. The design intent categories are Cell DI, Device DI, Net DI, Pin DI, HighCurrent DI, and MaxVoltageDrop DI.

The following table shows the type of design intent that can be created based on the type of object selected:

Note:

• The Net category can also be used for global nets.
• The categories HighCurrent and MaxVoltageDrop can both be created for an instance terminal, but an instance terminal can only be associated with one from each category.

Each category type has a design intent icon associated with it.
