Placing Buried Pins

Buried pins are the top-level pins that are also bound by a level-1 PR boundary. To place a level-1 pin below a top-level buried pin:

1. From the layout window menu bar, choose Floorplan – Pin Planner.
   The Pin Placement form is displayed.
2. Choose Level-1 Pins in the Edit region.
3. Select the level-1 pin from the pin table.
4. Choose To Buried Pin from the Edge drop-down list.
   
   
5. Choose No Constraint (Floating) from the Placement Status Constraint drop-down list.
6. Click Apply.

The level-1 pin is moved below the top-level pin. Its size and layer are matched to the buried pin. The status of both the pins (level-1 pin and buried pin) is marked as Fixed in the Status column of the pin table.
