Adding an Instance in Layout

There are two ways to add to the layout an instance that is not present in the schematic.

To add an instance to the layout using Update Components And Nets:

  1. In the schematic window, use the Add Instance form to add an instance to the schematic.
    See Adding Instances in Schematic
  2. To add the new instance to the layout view, choose Connectivity – Update – Components And Nets from the layout window menu bar.
  3. Click Yes to re-extract the schematic.
    Layout XL extracts the schematic and adds the new instance to the layout.
    The incremental binder engine automatically determines the binding for the newly added instance. To change the binding after creation, use the Define Device Correspondence form.

If the instance does not need to be connected to a net, add it directly to the layout and add the ignore property to it.
