Assign Layout Instance Terminals Form

Use the Assign layout instance terminals form to manually assign layout nets to unbound instance terminals in selected layout instances. This form is also useful when the Define Device Correspondence command is unable to assign all the instance terminals automatically. For example, if the instance masters in a one-to-one correspondence do not match, or if you create a one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many correspondence.
