Chaining Transistors Automatically when Updating Components and Nets

To chain transistors automatically when updating components and nets,

  1. From the layout window menu bar, choose Connectivity – Update – Components And Nets.
    If the schematic has any devices that are missing from the layout, the Generate Layout form is displayed.
  2. On the Generate tab, select either of the chaining options:
    • To automatically chain the transistors, select the Chain check box and click OK.
      The software chains the transistors automatically during layout generation.
    • To automatically chain the individual folds of a transistor, select the Chain Folds check box and click OK.
      The software automatically chains the individual folds of a transistor. The Chain Folds check box is active only when the Chain option is deselected and the Fold option is selected.

    Update Components And Nets chains only new devices created by the command itself. The new chains are separate and do not attach to old chains. Devices that had been chained prior to running Update Components And Nets are not moved from their existing positions.
