Remaster Command in Design Planning and Analysis

The Remaster command in Design Planning and Analysis (DPA) replaces the selected virtual hierarchy with the selected layout master that exists on disk. You can choose to replace all the clones of the selected virtual hierarchy with the selected layout variant.

Although some differences between the schematic and layout hierarchies are acceptable, the Remaster command cannot be supported for the following cases:

• The selected virtual hierarchy does not contain any bound instances.
• The bound schematic instance is not in the same hierarchy as the schematic instance corresponding to the selected virtual hierarchy.
• No schematic instance exists that matches the selected virtual hierarchy name, or the schematic master does not match the master of the bound schematic instance.

To overcome these limitations, you can run the Update Components and Nets command on the selected virtual hierarchy with the Generate Virtual Hierarchy option selected. If no bound instances are available, running the command may not help.
