Working with Design Partitions Design Partitioning October 2019 28 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. A: Yes. Anyone can open the .dpf file. The user field is automatically updated with the id of the person that opened the file. With this functionality, the master designer can optionally export a partition without assigning a user at all. Q: Why is the cell of a partition location red? A: The partition file either doesn't exist at that location, or the file that exists is obsolete (has already been imported), or the file that exists doesn't belong to this design. Use the Viewlog button to see more information. Q: What is the purpose of a guideport? A: Guideports are used to facilitate routing across partitions. The guideport command reports the number of crossings and can be used to improve partition strategy. Q: Is the master designer required to place guideports? A: No. Guideports are optional. Q: Can I route to the partition boundary if guideports are not used? A: Yes. Q: When I refresh another partition area into my database, will that information be imported into the master database from my database? A: No, that data is in a read state. Q: Does each team member require a specific license for team design? A: Yes, each member will require a Design Partition license. Q: Is there an additional cost for the product? A: Yes. Q: As a partition designer, do I have access to the Constraint Manager? A: Yes, (for edit capability, this requires master to enable the Edit_Cns option). Q: As a partition designer, can I change my color settings? A: Yes. These settings are local and will not import back to master database. Q: Is there a limit on the number of refreshes that can be performed?
