Components and Nets Updates
Use the Update Components And Nets command to automatically update your layout to take account of instances, pins, and connectivity that you have changed in the schematic.
In contrast to Generate All From Source, which deletes all the existing components in the layout view and regenerates everything from scratch, Update Components And Nets updates only the components that have changed. It
- Adds new instances and pins.
- Removes old instances (including any unbound vector and mosaic instances) and pins, along with any empty nets left as a result of the removal.
- Updates instance masters to match those in the schematic.
- Updates the instance connectivity to match the connectivity of the schematic instance to which it is bound.
- Updates the names of instances, terminals, and nets to match them with the corresponding schematic instance, terminal, or net to which they are bound.
- Updates the net signal types that have been modified to match the schematic net signal type.Updates the layout parameters and constraints.
- Removes any non-matching global terminals on the net, if a matching terminal already exists. Such non-matching global terminals may result if an original global terminal is modified, for instance, due to a name change in an associated cell.

(Virtuoso Photonics Option) When using the Virtuoso Photonics Solution with the
Virtuoso_Photonics_Optionlicense checked out, the Update Components And Nets command updates the default pin values such as Width, Radius, and Input Angle.
