Knowing that all designs are not exactly alike (slightly different net names or component reference designators), ACC provides a Mapping table to correlate constraint and design-specific information. As part of the process, a standard Constraint Manager difference report will be generated to review the changes that will be made to the design. Like other Constraint Manager import functions, the compiler can be running in Validation mode (Report only) or Apply mode to incorporate the changes to the design with compiler options to merge or replace existing constraints.
