Aligning Level-1 Pins to Top-Level Routes

Pin Planner lets you align level-1 instance pins with the top-level routes to which they are connected. You can also choose to resize the pins to match the dimensions of the corresponding top-level route, as shown in the following diagram:

To align level-1 instance pins with the top-level routes:

1. From the layout window menu bar, choose Floorplan – Pin Planner.
   The Pin Placement form is displayed.
2. Select the pin from the pin table.
3. Select Level-1 Pins in the Edit section of Pin Planner.
4. Select Top-Level Route from the Edge drop-down list.
5. Click Apply.

The pin resize behavior is controlled by the alignMatchRefSize environment variable. Set it to t to enable pin resizing.
