Updating All Physical Bindings
Use the Connectivity – Update – All Physical Bindings command to update the CPH master of an instance to the layout master if bindings have been created between layout and schematic instances that have different masters.
The Update All Physical Bindings command is particularly useful to remove any master differences between the layout and the schematic and provides a quick and simple method for updating the CPH master without opening the CPH. After the command is run, the CPH master for all the instances in the cellview gets updated to the correct layout master.
If the CPH window is already open, it will be brought to the front and you can choose to save or discard the CPH master update, as appropriate. However, if the CPH window is not open, any changes made to the CPH instance master will automatically get saved in the physConfig. You can also choose to turn off the automatic saving feature by setting the autoMirrorFilter environment variable to nil.
Instead of updating the CPH master for all the instances in the cellview, you can choose to update the master only for a selected set. To do this, select the instances in the layout canvas or the Navigator and choose the Update – Physical Bindings shortcut command. The command, which is available only through the shortcut menu (not available in the main menu), updates the CPH master for the selected set of instances to synchronize it with the layout master.
