Merging Incremental EIP Updates

Merging with the top design is easy because the parent and the child are in sync. For example, submitting the parent design partition view for merge automatically includes all child design partition views. Similarly, opening a submitted child design partition view for edit will automatically recall both the parent and child design partition views. Merging a parent will automatically load the children into the memory. To verify DRC, ensure to stream out the entire design hierarchy from VM.

To submit a hierarchical design partition for merge:

1. Return to the top-level design partition.
2. Click Submit for Merge on the Concurrent Layout toolbar in the Concurrent Layout assistant or choose Concurrent – Submit for Merge or Recall to submit updates made in the subcell.
   The top-level design partition is submitted for merge.

In case you have already exited without submitting for merge:

1. Open the top-level design partition view from Library Manager.
2. Select top design partition to merge in the Concurrent Layout assistant.
3. Click Submit for Merge on the Concurrent Layout toolbar in the Concurrent Layout assistant or choose Concurrent – Submit for Merge / Recall.
   Submit for Merge dialog box is displayed.
4. Click OK.
5. Close the top-level design partition view.
6. Open the top design cellview.
7. Click the Merge button on the Concurrent Layout toolbar in the Concurrent Layout assistant or choose Concurrent – Merge to merge the top-level design partition with the top design.
8. Check the message box for successful merge of all design partition views and automatic loading of layout configurations.
