Find Marker Form

To Ignore appears only when the Show Ignored option is on (default).This option ignores violations indicated by markers in future rule extractions. The schematic composer opens a column in the list box. It then displays an asterisk in the column when you apply an ignoreCheck property to a corresponding marker.

Reason displays marker severity levels, associated messages, and the cellview name where the errors and warnings occurred.

Zoom To Markers displays a magnified view of the specified marker in the design window if it is turned on.

Scale appears only when you turn on Zoom To Markers. This option lets you specify the zoom scale. The smaller the scale setting, the greater the degree of magnification.

The following four options let you control which markers the system displays in the list box.

Show Ignored displays markers for objects that have an ignoreCheck property. When Show Ignored is on (default), the software displays the To Ignore label above the list box and opens a column under the label. The software displays an asterisk in the column when you apply an ignoreCheck property to a corresponding marker.

Ignore automatically assigns an ignoreCheck property to the object highlighted in the list box.

Restore deletes an ignoreCheck property from an object highlighted in the list box.

Restore All deletes the ignoreCheck property from all objects.

Severity specifies which messages the system displays in the list box. all displays both error and warning messages.

error displays only error messages. warning displays only warning messages.

Search Scope lets you specify the scope of a search for schematic objects. cellview (default) searches only the current cellview.

hierarchy starting from top cellview searches the design hierarchy, starting with the top cellview in the window.

hierarchy starting from current cellview searches the design hierarchy, starting with the current cellview in the window.

Source displays a button and label for the sources of the error and warning messages. When there is more than one source for the error and warning messages, you can toggle the source buttons to control which messages the system displays in the list box.

SRC specifies the schematic rules checker as the source.

VIC specifies the cross-view checker as the source.

conn specifies connectivity as the source.

none appears when there are no messages in the list box.

Note: The SRC, VIC, and conn buttons appear when you are checking a schematic design; only the VIC button appears when you are checking a symbol design.

Go To Pin Form

Order specifies, in a multisheet schematic, the relative location of other pins that reference the same net. The choices are next, previous, first, and last.

The reference list for a pin or offsheet connector is a list of zones identifying where other pins on other sheets reference the same net. The reference lists for the pins in the multisheet schematic are generated by the Create Pin Reference command.

Go To Sheet Form

index displays the index sheet for the multisheet schematic in the current design window. first displays the first sheet of the multisheet schematic in the current design window. last displays the last sheet of the multisheet schematic in the current design window.

next displays the next sheet in sequence of the multisheet schematic in the current design window.

previous displays the previous sheet in sequence of the multisheet schematic in the current design window.

number enables the text field so you can specify which sheet of the multisheet schematic you want the editor to display in the current design window.
