Performing Cross-Fabric Checks

To run a cross-fabric check:

Choose Module – Cross Fabric Check.
The design opens in Edit-in-Concert mode and cross-fabric checks are run.
Violations are reported in the Cross Fabric Check Violation Summary and Navigation form and on the Connectivity and CAS tabs of Annotation Browser.
Expand the package view in the CellView column to view a list of cellviews in which violations are reported. Fabric Type specifies the fabric type of the cellviews.
Cross-fabric check violations are listed under the following columns:
- Violation for Connectivity Extraction lists the violations reported during connectivity extraction.
- Violation for Check Against Source lists the number of violations reported by the CAS checker.
- Violation for Layout Vs Abstract lists the number of violations reported by the LVA checker.
Click a violation count to open the corresponding die in the foreground in Edit-in-Concert mode. The Annotation Browser is displayed with the corresponding tab open. For example, if you click the Violation for Connectivity Extraction count, the Connectivity tab is displayed.

A detailed system check report is displayed in the CIW.
