Creating a Design Intent in Layout XL

The process for creating design intents in Layout XL is different because all design intents must be reviewed and validated within Schematics XL before they are fully integrated into the standard implementation process.

1. Select an instance in the Navigator or on the canvas in Layout XL.
2. Right-click and choose Design Intent – Create Design Intent.
   The Create Design Intent Form is displayed.
   
   
3. Specify a Name for the design intent.
4. Define a Style to identify the design intent annotation on the canvas.
5. In the lower section Notes, add any information regarding the implementation and the purpose of the design intent for the schematic designer. The Notes in the upper section of the form are unavailable. An Implementation Status of review is set automatically and cannot be changed.
   
   
6. Click OK.
   In Schematics XL, the affected objects are immediately displayed with the review status icon and a sync icon as a prompt to Sync the design intent.
