Creating a New Clone Family

To create a new synchronized clone family containing two or more of the layout groups currently in your design,

From the layout window menu bar, choose Connectivity – Update – Clone Families.
The Update Clone Families form is displayed.
Click Create/Add To Family.
The form is expanded to include the options.
Ensure there is no existing family selected in the Clone Families pane, and then select at least two groups from the list of Layout groups.
The Synchronization reference drop-down and the Create Family button are enabled.
The Layout groups pane lists all the regular layout groups not currently assigned to a clone family. It does not list any other type of group. When you remove a clone from an existing group, its type is change to none and it is added to the list of layout groups. However, its name is left unchanged, which means that the list might contain names like SynchronousClone123. Such groups are not synchronous clones.
From the Synchronization reference drop-down, choose the reference group with which the others are to be synchronized.
Click Create Family.
As long as the selected groups are valid clones of each other, the software creates the new family, synchronizes it against the reference group, and adds it to the Clone Families pane.
Labels are not synchronized. Any dummy devices present in the reference group are copied in other occurrences of the clone.
Click Close to dismiss the Update Clone Families form.
