Checking a Design in Foreground Mode

To run the In-Design Checks in foreground mode, perform the following steps:

Load the setup in the Power Manager Setup form.
Choose Power Manager – Run In-Design Checks. The Run In-Design Checks form is opened.
Select the appropriate value for the Scope field. The Library, Cell, View, and Instance Path are read-only fields.
You should choose the Current Cellview option in the following scenarios:
- You have a Power Manager setup for the specific design. The setup includes specific information for the design, such as supply states, supply nets, net voltage, and so on.
- You want to validate the complete design.
If you are making changes to a part of an existing design and you want to know how the changes in the hierarchy affect the accuracy of the design within that sub-hierarchy, you can validate a portion of the design by choosing the Hierarchical Instance option in the following scenarios:
- You have a Power Manager setup for the top-level design, which includes all relevant information about supply states, supply nets, net voltage, and so on.
- You want to descend to the lower-level cell and want the scope of the design checks limited to the hierarchy of the lower cell and its interface connections.
Click OK. An inDesign.log file, such as the one shown here, appears.
