Updating Parameters for a Soft Pin

To update the parameters for one or more soft pins,

1. In the layout canvas, select the soft block for which the soft pin is to be created.
2. Click Create – Soft Pins.
   The Add Soft Pin form is displayed.
3. Select the pins you want to update from the list.
4. Use the controls provided to change the Layer purpose and specify the Width and Height of the pin, as required.
5. Define the side constraints using an appropriate option from the Side drop-down list.
   • You can assign a side (Left, Right, Top, or Bottom) constraint for each pin figure from the Side drop-down. This creates an alignment (side) constraint, which you can view in the Constraint Manager. The alignment constraint, so created, is honored by the pin optimizer.
   • Selecting a value None from the Side drop-down implies that the pin figure is not constrained to any particular side.
6. Click Update.
   The selected pins are updated.
