Working with Design Partitions Design Partitioning October 2019 9 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. Constraint Budgeting – There is no concept of constraint budgeting across partitions. The team is encouraged to update their databases periodically using the refresh command. Guideports – The master designer is responsible for the placement and editing of guideport locations. The partition designer cannot move or delete them. Note: Guideports are optional when routing is required to the boundary edge. Pin Swapping – The partition designer can swap pins/functions provided they are located within the partition boundary. The team is prevented from swapping pins that straddle the boundary. TestPrep – The partition designer has access to manual Testprep only. These functions include the manual addition, deletion, swapping and querying of testprobes. Read access to the Testprep parameter dialog box is available. The master designer is responsible for any automatic executions and re-sequencing operations. Testprobes that are assigned by the partition designer are assigned a prefix based on the partition name. Prefixes are assigned to prevent naming conflicts across the partitions. Silkscreen – The partition designer cannot run AUTOSILK but can manually move text. Drafting/Dimensioning – The master designer is responsible for drawing details. Artwork/ NC Drill – The partition designer cannot customize drills. Only the master can export artwork and NC drill files. Import/Export Functions – The partition designer can import sub-drawings, export libraries, plot, netlist and sub-drawings. The designer cannot export artwork, ODB++, IDF, DXF, and placement files. Reports – The partition designer has access to all reports. A new design partition report provides connection statistics for each partition. Properties – The following properties are supported in the partition editor. However, new in SPB16.6 is the Edit_Cns option in the workflow manager. When enabled, the partition designer has access to a complete set of properties to edit. ■ ALIGNED ■ DYN_THERMAL_CON_TYPE ■ CLIP_DRAW ■ FIXED ■ COMMENTS
