Concurrent Layout Modes
The commands that are enabled in the Concurrent menu depend on the mode in which the design is open. These modes are the following:
- Manager mode Lets you perform various managerial tasks, such as defining the design partition for each designer and merging the respective design partition views back to the top design.
- Designer mode Lets you edit the design in the assigned design partition view and then submit these changes for merging with the top design.
-
Single user mode
Lets a single user edit a design in a safe environment. You can choose to work on the complete design or in a focused area or focused range of layers. Your changes are implemented only when you save your changes and merge them with the top design.
The manager mode and designer mode commands in the Concurrent menu are described below.
