Allegro Front to Back User Guide

Allegro Front-to-Back User Guide October 2019 63 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. 8 Synchronizing Schematics and Boards In the design synchronization phase, you bring the schematic and the board in sync. You resolve both property and connectivity changes between the schematic and the board.
