Concurrent Layout Editing in Designer Mode
After the required design partition and design partition views are created, designers can start editing in the allocated design partition views. Designers should have write permission on the design partition views that store the edits of the top design.
Concurrent Layout can be used both in single-user and multiple-user modes. In single-user mode the manager can move to designer mode to edit the design. Updates made in Concurrent Layout do not affect the top design until you merge the updates made in the design partition views with the top design. This is why you can use concurrent editing in single user mode to edit the design in different ways, and then merge the update that works the best.
When a single user is editing the design, in the Concurrent Layout assistant:
-
Right-click the design partition you want to edit and select Edit in Design Partition.
The design switches to designer mode.
If multiple users are working on different design partitions:
There are certain updates that should be made only in the top design. Avoid making these updates in design partitions. For example:
-
Net deletion and property changes of cellviews (
cv~>prop) are not merged or imported. Net deletions can trigger unexpected deletions in the current design partition. They are automatically updated in the top design. Similarly, property changes can cause edit conflicts so they are updated only in the top design. - Snap Boundary and P&R Boundary are global and should be modified only in the top design.
