Delete all DI in Cellview

Report

Generates a high-level report from Layout XL or Schematics XL to report the design intent within a design.

Show/Hide Info Balloons

Toggles the display of info balloons on the canvas. If the info balloons are hidden then they are shown and vice-versa. In addition, when there is a selection of a design intent in Navigator Assistant or on the layout canvas, then this button works for the selected design intent.

Sync All Design Intent

Synchronizes all design intents between the schematic and layout cellview. The tooltip lists the individual design intents that shall be synchronized. This icon is only enabled if there are design intent changes to be synchronized.

Hierarchy Propagation

Runs auto propagation across multiple hierarchies for selected nets or HighCurrent design intents.

This feature provides the following options:

  • DI Push-Down : Pushes the selected nets or HighCurrent design intents down the hierarchy.
  • DI Push-Up : Pushes the selected net or HighCurrent design intents to the top of the hierarchy.
  • DI Consistency Check : Runs a consistency check to compare the reference design intent specification with the specification defined at different design hierarchies for a given net and reports any discrepancies between them. The reference design intent is the one from which the consistency check was run. This works only for Net design intents.

This option is not available in Layout XL.
