Edit in Design Partition

Displays the Edit in Design Partition Form form that lets you edit in a selected design partition view.

Make Incremental

Opens a subcell in incremental mode. This command is available when a subcell is opened in regular EIP mode from the top design partition.

View Instance Occurrence

Displays the View Instance Occurrence Form form that lets you view occurrences of an instance in the design hierarchy.

Assign Owner to Clone Family

Displays the Assign Owner to Clone Family Form form that lets you assign the owner design partition for an unassigned clone family in the top design.

View Design Partition Definitions

Displays the View Design Partition Form form that lets you check design partition definitions.

Check Partition Area Overlaps

Checks for area overlaps in partitions and creates markers for any overlaps found. Messages are displayed in CIW to provide further information about the overlaps.

Check Against Source

Runs the Layout XL command Check Against Source for all instances in the current design partition.

Only Select Outside Partition Area

Toggles whether manager should be allowed to edit objects in a design partition after it is created and saved.

When this option is selected, if the manager makes an edit inside the area boundaries of a design partition, a warning glyph is displayed on the canvas and the corresponding warning message is displayed in the Information pane.

Show Detailed Changes

Highlights the updated information in the design.

Check Edit Conflicts

Displays the Check Edit Conflicts Form form that lets you conduct a more thorough checking among the selected design partitions for identifying issues prior to merge.

Delete Design Partition

Deletes the selected design partition.

This option deletes the selected design partition and all associated design partition views in the hierarchy. When you select this option, a message is displayed to confirm the deletion of listed top and hierarchical design partition views. An indicator (*) is used to identify the design partition views with unmerged changes. Changes in these design partition views are lost if you continue to delete the design partition.

Dump Pegasus/PVS Window Rule for DRC

Restricts the batch Pegasus or PVS window rule file to check only within the design partition area.

XStream Out from VM for DRC

Translates the current design partition view to a stream file from virtual memory for running DRC checks.

XOasis Out from VM for DRC

Translates the current design partition view to an OASIS file from virtual memory for running DRC checks.

Split Object Crossing Partitions

Displays the Split Crossing Objects Options Form that lets you specify how to split the objects that are part of multiple partitions.

Join Objects and Update Definition

Joins all split objects crossing hierarchical and non-hierarchical design partitions.

If manager adds, resizes, or deletes design partitions, use this command to manually join currently split objects. The objects can split again when new or updated design partitions are created.

If the design partitions has hierarchical design partitions, the Join Objects and Update Definition Form is displayed. Use this form to join the crossing objects that have been split across hierarchical design partitions, detect definition differences for existing area or layer-based hierarchical design partitions, and let the manager re-push the new definition down the whole hierarchy and update them.

Generate Temporary Blockages

Adds blockages over design partition area boundaries. As a result, the Virtuoso Space-based Router connects to Concurrent Layout pins generated in designer mode, only at the area boundary. No routing takes place within the design partitions.

Remove Temporary Objects

Deletes temporary objects, such as virtual pins created by Virtuoso Space-based Router (VSR) for routing inside area boundaries of the design partition.
