Defining a One-to-Many Device Correspondence

To define a correspondence between a single schematic instance and multiple layout instances:

1. From the layout window menu bar, choose Connectivity – Define Device Correspondence.
   The Define Device Correspondence form appears.
2. Select an unbound instance from the Schematic tree and the unbound instances from the Layout tree to which the selected schematic instance needs to be bound.
   You can only bind unbound devices. To only see the unbound instances, choose Unbound Instances from the Filter cyclic field; to see only the unbound terminals, choose Unbound Terminals.
3. (Optional) Use the two Update Layout Instance options at the bottom of the form to update the name and parameter values of the layout instance to match those in the schematic instance.
4. Click Bind to create a correspondence between the selected schematic instance and the selected layout instances.
   Layout XL binds the instances, but needs more information to propagate the connectivity correctly. Therefore, the Assign layout instance terminals Form form is displayed, which you can use to assign layout nets to the unbound instance terminals in the selected layout instance. For more information, see Assigning Layout Instance Terminals to Nets.
